Ahead of the maiden edition of the West Africa Trophy, Nigeria’s coach Steve Tikolo has named Captain Sylvester Okpe to lead the 13-man team for the championship.
Other players in coach Steve Tikolo’s squad for the tournament are; Peter Aho, Ademola Onikoyi, Ridwan Abdulkareem, Prosper Useni, Daniel Ajekun, Sulaimon Runsewe, Taiwo Mohammed, Chiemelie Udekwe, Isaac Danladi, Isaac Okpe, Joshua Asia and Ahkere Isesele.
The West Africa Trophy tournament is slated to be held at the Tafawa Balewa Square Oval in Lagos, from Wednesday, October 4 to 15.
The four-nation competition was launched by the Nigeria Cricket Federation last week as a method to forge new relationships with new sponsors and to provide opportunities for the national team’s exposure to more international interaction, which is essential to their development.
