Harambee Stars Coach Engin Firat has named FKF Premier League top scorer Benson Omalla in Harambee Stars' provisional squad for the upcoming Four Nations tournament in Mauritius.

Omalla was dropped in the run-up to Kenya's friendly match against Iran in March, despite being the league's best scorer. His counterpart from Kenya Police FC, Elvis Rupia, is however not part of the provisional squad this time.

There's also room for Kakamega Homeboyz sensation Moses Shumah while Brian Bwire also makes a return 

Captain Michael Olunga is expected to yet again lead the team. Stars enter camp on June 5, 2023, and will leave for Mauritius on June 10, 2023.
