Harambee Stars snub 'motivation' for Kipkirui
Gor Mahia forward Nicholas Kipkirui insists he is not heartbroken over his absence from the provisional Harambee Stars team named for the friendly against Uganda.
Despite his undeniable quality, the forward was named in the stand-by list by the national team's technical bench led by coach Francis Kimanzi.
Speaking to Goal following the team announcement, Kipkirui noted what an honour it is for a player to be selected.
“Everyone wants to play for the national team and I am not an exception,” Kipkirui told Goal.
“Playing for the Harambee Stars is a privilege because you represent the whole country.”
