South African hired cricket expert Kenneth Masinga has named the final 14 of the Senior Men’s Patriots ahead of the ACA Tournament scheduled for Benoni South Africa early December this year.
With little touch to the squad that qualified Sierra Leone to the African Championship during the Lagos engagement, the final 14 represented the best from the top.
Written below are the names of those who merited a place to face alien bull dogs in Benoni:
1. George Edward Ngegba (Captain)
2. John Bangura
3. Ibrahim Kamara
4. Alusine Turay
5. Abass Gbla
6. Raymond Coker
7. John Lassayo
8. Samuel Conteh
9. Chernor Bah
10. Ibrahim Sesay
11. Lansana Lamin
12. Yegbeh Jalloh
13. George Sesay
14. Miniru Kpaka
The squad is expected to depart for South Africa early December 2023 to ready for the tournament beginning on the 6th of that month.
Prior to their departure, the Senior Men’s side will engage Sierra Leone 11 (the best of cricketers outside the national squad) in a test match at the Kingtom Oval.
Late last month, the Senior Men finished the Lagos Showpiece in the second spot and grabbed a ticket to the African Championship scheduled for next year.
