Coronavirus: KPL should not be in a hurry to restart - Xavier

Kenyan Premier League (KPL) should not be in a hurry to restart the league, AFC Leopards legend Francis Xavier has stated.

KPL moved to halt the league for two rounds and gave April 4 as a tentative date where it could restart but Xavier feels the situation has to be managed totally before allowing the return of action.

“Let the situation be managed totally around the globe and restart the league thereafter. We should not be in a hurry at all,” Xavier told Goal on Saturday.
