The English have a phrase – ‘it’s just not cricket’ – to describe something saying that something is unfair or unacceptable. They’d probably say that the rhino poaching crisis is ‘just not cricket’ but in the case of the Last Male Standing cricket match, we might to disagree. Yes, our annual cricket match is back!
Aimed at raising awareness for Sudan, the #LastMaleStanding, this year we have 12 teams batting it out for the winning honours. Funds raised will go toward rhino conservation. The game will be T20 cricket; a shorter, and much more spectator friendly form of the traditional game.
On the 17th and 18th June, teams from all over Kenya will meet on Ngerenyi Plain. With Mt. Kenya as the backdrop and rhino, giraffe, and zebra among the spectators, this is set to be a truly unique day of cricket and great fun for all the family.
