•Skipper Andrew Amonde who also missed the event in the Spanish capital due to sickness is also named in the squad for the two-week tournament
•Shujaa will face Canada, Chile , Argentina, France, Uganda, Japan and Spain
Half backs Sammy Oliech of Impala and Quins' Eden Agero have been recalled to the Kenya Sevens squad for the Emirates Invitational tournament slated for next month.
The duo missed the Madrid Sevens last month due to personal commitments and head coach Innocent Simiyu welcomed the return of the two playmakers to the team.
“They are very gifted players who open up defences and will bring a new dimension to our structure in both attack and defence in Dubai," added Simiyu.
Skipper Andrew Amonde, who also missed the event in the Spanish capital due to sickness, is also in the squad for the two-week tournament meant to aid Shujaa's preparations for the Tokyo Olympics slated for July. Billy Odhiambo will be the vice-captain for the tour.
Sinaida Aura, who had announced her retirement from rugby a month ago, has made a quick return to the Lionesses squad alongside debutant Terry Ayesa. Playmaker Grace Adhiambo misses out as she is sitting her national examinations.
Head coach Felix Oloo will be seeking improvement after mixed results in Madrid with only two wins out of six matches. "We have worked hard in training and polished up areas in our facets of play which let us down. The girls are ready and eager to compete at the event," added Oloo.
Shujaa will face Canada, Chile, Argentina, France, Uganda, Japan and Spain as the Lionesses face powerhouses USA, Canada, France, Japan, Brazil and Uganda.
