Collins Injera returns to the Kenya Sevens squad for the third and fourth legs of the 2010/11 HSBC Sevens World Series in New Zealand and USA.
Kenya's all time leading Sevens try scorer (95) was missed in Dubai and South Africa but will return for the tournaments in Wellington on 4-5 Feburary and Las Vegas on 12-13 Feburary.
Kenya managed to reach the Shield final in both of the two opening legs, beating France in Dubai before losing to African rivals Zimbabwe in South Africa, but Injera's inclusion will boost all involved.
Biko Adema, Sidney Ashioya and Lavin Asego, who also missed the first two legs, have been called up to Benjamin Ayimba's 14-man squad which will depart for New Zealand on 29 January.
After a disappointing opening two legs, and still in search of their first points on the 2010/11 Series, Ayimba has also included exciting debutants Lawrence Buyachi and Oscar Ouma.
It is hoped their inclusion will add impetus to the Kenyan campaign, which is in need of a boost after just one one win from six matches in George, South Africa
Horace Otieno misses out due to injury whilst stalwart Humphrey Kayange retains the captain's armband and they will be looking for improvements, starting in New Zealand where they reached the Cup quarter finals in 2010.
Samoa, Australia and Tonga join them in Pool C of the 2011 NZI Sevens and they begin their campaign against the reigning World Series champions Samoa, the side that beat them 14-10 in last year's quarter final.
Kenya face matches against New Zealand, Wales and Uruguay in Las Vegas, the fourth leg of the 2010/11 HSBC Sevens World Series.
Kenya Sevens*: Humphrey Kayange, Sidney Ashioya, Collins Injera, Biko Adema, Leon Adongo, Andrew Amonde, Gibson Weru, Brian Nyikuli, Patrice Agunda, Wilson Kopondo, Oscar Ouma, Peter Ocholla, Lawrence Buyachi, Lavin Asego
*A 14-man squad has been named due to the unavailability of some players for both legs
