Kenyans to receive cash


Kenya's cricketers will each receive a cash payment of 5,000 dollars for their efforts in winning the World Cricket League title here this month, officials said on Tuesday.

The payment is the highest since the players, who have been going without salaries for months, will earn since their participation in the last World Cup in South Africa.

The money is part of the 250,000 dollars (17.5 million shillings) granted to the winner and runner-up of the World Cricket League Division one tournament as their participation fee for the inaugural ICC Twenty20 World Championships in South Africa in September.
