A total of 47 players from the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) have been selected to take on English side Hull City next year.

Scouts from the English side picked the players following a countrywide selection exercise that involved all the 16 KPL sides.

The coaches attended a number of matches, training sessions as well as two friendly matches by the national team Harambee Stars against Liberia and Mozambique.

A final team of 16 players will be selected before the AllStars team heads to England to take on Hull City FC in February.
