KCB captain Curtis Lilako has been recalled to the Kenya Simbas squad that is set to play Rugby Cranes this Saturday in Kampala.
Lilako, who was dropped in April due to form issues, trained with the team on Saturday June 3, 2017 and is in contention for a place in Saturday’s first leg of the Elgon Cup at Legends Rugby Grounds.
Team Manager Simiyu Wangila revealed that Likalo had made his case with the performances that helped his side to a league and cup double domestically.
“Lilako returns to the squad on merit. He has worked hard at club level and has been an integral part of his team’s league and cup double this season.”
Lilako, a frontrow mainstay for the Simbas over the past six years was initially omitted from the 36-man squad and also missed the team’s 29-30 home loss to Germany in a high profile trial match.
He was last in action for the Simbas during the 34-10 win over Hong Kong in Nairobi in August 2016.
Lilako had an outstanding season with KCB returning from injury to help them win Kenya Cup and Enterprise Cup.
Kenya will face neigbours Uganda over the weekend in their fight to retain the Elgon Cup trophy.
