Asa Tribe barred from England Lions tour after Kenya trip due to Ebola rules

Glamorgan opener Asa Tribe, 22, has been barred from joining the England Lions tour of the Caribbean after a recent trip to Kenya, where he played for Jersey in Nairobi last month. The St Kitts and Nevis government introduced an entry ban for travelers who have visited countries affected by the Ebola outbreak in east Africa, preventing Tribe from meeting up with the squad. Tribe, who is eligible to represent Jersey until he earns a senior England cap, was set to join the Lions in St Kitts and Nevis. The decision highlights the ongoing global health precautions and their impact on international sports schedules. England Lions will have to proceed without the promising batter, whose opportunity to impress selectors is now delayed.
