Kenya face India today
CUTTACK. India, Feb* 17: Rusty India are set to lose staf spinner Anil Kumble for their World Cup opener against minnows Kenya at the Barabati Stadium here on Sunday, report agencies.
Kumble has been confined to bed for the last two days because of viral fever and team manager Ajit Wadekar said the leg-spinner only had a "50-50" chance of playing in the match.
"He is feeling extremely weak and may not be fit for the match." Wadekar said today. "At the moment his chances of playing are 50-50. We will wait till Sunday morning before deciding."
Two other Indlaps affected by viral infection. Nayjot Sidhu and Ajay Jadeja, appeared to have recovered. Wadekar said, adding: "We are keeping our fingers."
The Kenyans are given little chance In their maiden World Cup appearance, put at least the Africans have the satisfaction of knowing they qre better prepared for the opening match than their fancied hosts.
While India have not played international cricket since the New Zealanders' visit in November, the Kenyans have been hard at work since host-ing the India team in August.
Coached by former Indian Test batsman Hanumant Singh, they went on a three-week tour of South Africa in Naem-ber, where star batsman sieve
Tikolo scored a fine 139 against provincial side Border.
Tlkolo was rewarded by the effort when Border signed him as a professional, replacing ' West Indian fast bowler Otis
Gibson.
Kenyan manager Jasmer Singh believes his team is not here merely to make up the numbers tn cricket s premier limited-overs tournament.
"We seriously hafbour hopes of making it ’to the quarterfinals." Singh said. "We are confident we can defeat Zimbabwe and. given a bit of luck, are capable of an upset against better sides like India and Australia.'
It's an assessment Wadekar refuses to laugh at: "Kenya put up a creditable performance during the India A team's tour. We won 4-1. but the scoreline does not suggest the tough manner in which the Kenyans played. We will not understi-mate them."
The unpredictable nature of one-day cricket does offer Kenya a chance to make a dream debut in international cricket by upset ling India.
"Playing in the World Cup is a good feeling." said Maurice Odumbe. Kenya's 25-year-old captain.
Odumbe promised good cricket against India. He is a right-hand batsman who also bowls off-spinners. Odumbe twice played lor Kenya in ICC Trophy in 1990 and in 1994. He scored his highest 158 not out against Bermuda in 1994.
"A couple of mistakes and India can be in serious trouble." said Bishen Singh Bedi, a former Indian captain and left arm spin bowler.
