Tribe unable to join England Lions over virus worry

Glamorgan's Asa Tribe has been excluded from the England Lions squad for a West Indies tour due to a recent visit to Kenya. The player participated in three one-day matches for Jersey in Nairobi, facing Kuwait and Papua New Guinea, as well as the local hosts. However, Tribe's inclusion in the England Lions team is now in doubt following the potential outbreak of Ebola in Kenya.

The Saint Kitts & Nevis cricket authorities have implemented a 21-day non-entry rule for non-nationals who have been in Kenya due to the Ebola outbreak in seven African countries. As a result, Tribe is barred from entering Saint Kitts & Nevis, where the England Lions series is set to take place. The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed the decision to BBC Sport Wales.

Tribe has returned to the UK and is currently in contact with the relevant authorities. In the recent England Lions match against West Indies A, the latter were bowled out for 98, with Naavya Sharma claiming four wickets and Scott Currie taking three. Captain Thomas Rew scored an unbeaten 50, and the tourists reached 101-2 in just 10.1 overs. Tribe's future in the England Lions remains uncertain after the exclusion.
