The Tusker vice captain is hoping to make a return to the Harambee Stars set up soon.
Tusker defender Michael Kibwage believes he is ready to make his long-awaited return to the Kenya national team after enjoying a remarkable return to his best with the Brewers.
Kibwagwe joined the club in 2023 after a long spell out in the cold after leaving Sofapaka, before Tusker took a chance on the former KCB center back.
He was used as a back up centre back in his first few months at the club, but has now established himself as a key man for the Ruaraka-based outfit in their quest to lift the league title this season, as well as assert his influence as vice captain.
