Glamorgan batter Asa Tribe has been barred from joining the England Lions squad in the West Indies after a recent trip to Kenya. Tribe played three one-day matches for Jersey in Nairobi in late October against Kuwait and Papua New Guinea, as well as the hosts. He was due to join England Lions for T20 and one-day matches against West Indies A.
Concerns over an Ebola outbreak in Kenya led to his denial of entry to Saint Kitts & Nevis. A spokesperson for the England and Wales Cricket Board stated the nation has a 21-day non-entry rule for non-nationals who have been in Kenya and seven other African countries. Tribe is currently back in the UK, and the ECB is in touch with relevant authorities.
England Lions won the first T20 by eight wickets after bowling West Indies A out for 98. Naavya Sharma took four wickets and Scott Currie three. Captain Thomas Rew hit 50 not out as the tourists reached 101-2 in 10.1 overs.
