The new head coach and high-performance manager of the Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) is a Kenyan named Steve Tikolo.
In a statement released on Sunday, the Federation’s Public Relations Officer (PRO) revealed that the Kenyan has a two-year contract and will be in charge of the senior men’s squad.
“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.
”Other coaching structures will remain the same, however.
“Tikolo’s initial contract will 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,” Ehizoje said.
After Sri Lankan Asanka Gurusinha’s resignation as head coach in April 2022 owing to health issues, Tikolo was hired.
