Nigeria Cricket Federation appoints Kenya’s Tikolo as new coach
The Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) has appointed a Kenyan, Steve Tikolo, as head coach and high-performance manager.
The appointment was announced in a statement on Sunday.
The Kenyan has a two-year contract and will oversee the senior men’s team.
“Following the restructuring of the coaching department in the Federation, Tikolo will head the senior men’s team, and he will be assisted by our national coach Uthe Ogbimi,” said the NCF statement. “Other coaching structures will remain the same, however.”
It added that Tikolo’s initial contract would run for two years, with his first opportunity to meet with the senior team players “being when they resume camp for the T20 World Cup Africa Sub Regional Qualifier in November.”
Tikolo’s appointment followed the resignation of Sri Lankan Asanka Gurusinha as head coach in April due to health concerns.
