Ebola Fear Grounds Cricketer Asa Tribe in Paris
3 Nov
Summary
- Cricketer Asa Tribe denied entry to St Kitts over Kenya Ebola risk.
- St Kitts has a 21-day non-entry rule for those recently in Kenya.
- Tribe played for Jersey in Kenya, triggering travel restrictions.
Glamorgan cricketer Asa Tribe's participation in the England Lions' white-ball series against West Indies A was halted due to travel restrictions. St. Kitts and Nevis denied Tribe entry as he had recently traveled to Kenya, where an Ebola outbreak was announced in early October 2026.
Tribe, who represents Jersey internationally, played in CWC Challenge League Group A matches in Kenya last month. This prior travel led to him being barred from entering St. Kitts and Nevis, which enforces a 21-day non-entry rule for non-nationals who have visited high-risk countries, including Kenya.
The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed Tribe's inability to enter St. Kitts and Nevis. He is now back in the UK, and discussions with relevant authorities are ongoing. The Lions team, meanwhile, secured a convincing victory in the first T20 match of their tour.
