Bolton Omwenga of Kariobangi Sharks and Posta Rangers’ Farouk Shikhalo were axed from the KPL All Stars team as head coach Stanley Okumbi named the final 18-man squad for the Spanish La Liga tour on Wednesday.

Okumbi had released a list of 20 players on Monday that was to be reduced to 18 after final assessment of the players in training, which has culminated to the latest development.
