Malkia Strikers head coach Luizomar de Moura has named a provisional squad for the World Championships set for 23 September to 15 October in Netherlands and Poland.
Kenya was placed in Pool A alongside arch-rivals Cameroon, hosts the Netherlands, European champions Italy, Belgium, and Puerto Rico during a virtual draw ceremony held at FIVB headquarters in Switzerland in March.
The Brazilian tactician has gone for a mix of youth and experience with some new faces that make the provisional team. Also returning is Kenya Pipeline’s middle blocker Trizah Atuka who missed the last two assignments with injury.
Kenya Prisons outside hitter Meldinah Sande, Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) setter Veronica Kilabat and libero Veronica Makokha as well as KCB trio of Magdaline Mwende, Belinda Barasa and Faith Imodia have made the list.
Kilabat and Imodia are set to fight for the setter position replacing Joy Lusenaka and Esther Mutinda who did duty at the last national team outing but are now unavailable for duty. Also missing is KCB’s left attacker Leonida Kasaya.
