WELCOME TO THE OBUYA CRICKET ACADEMY
The Obuya Cricket Academy was founded in 2005, with the aim of nurturing and producing world class cricketers through training and mentorship.
Following Kenya’s brilliant exploits in the 2003 Cricket World Cup where the Obuya brothers Kennedy, David and Collins showcased their talents, the brothers felt it was right to give back to the community through their passion and introduced the sport to under privileged kids from different slums in Nairobi.
Based in Nairobi, the academy has been a beaming hope for many kids aspiring to play cricket competitively. Recently, three youngsters from the academy lead the Kenya under-19 team to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in New Zealand. This has been the highlight with many seeking to follow their footsteps.
So far over 500 kids, have gained cricket experience through the Obuya academy. More than 15 kids have also earned a scholarship where their education has been catered for.To date the academy has grown in leaps and it currently has a club that was promoted to play in the Nairobi Provincial Cricket League super division this year.
