Harambee Stars coach Francis Kimanzi has picked Michael Olunga to captain the side against Uganda on Sunday.
The two East African neighbours will face off in a friendly which will be the first game in charge for coach Kimanzi, who took over the side following the exit of Sebastien Migne.
And with regular skipper, Victor Wanyama being ruled out, coach Kimanzi has confirmed the former Gor Mahia striker, who currently turns out for Kashiwa Reysol in Japan, will lead the side against the Cranes.
