Career

edit

Keimolo's first taste of international cricket came at the 1998 Under-19 World Cup when he played for Papua New Guinea in four tournament matches.[4] He made his debut for the senior team in October that year, playing in the ACC Trophy against Singapore[5] aged just 15.[1]

He next played for Papua New Guinea in the 2001 Pacifica Cup in Auckland, New Zealand,[5] and played in the 2001 ICC Trophy in Canada later that year,[6] following this by playing in the East Asia/Pacific Under-19 Championship for the Papua New Guinea Under-19 team,[5] from which Papua New Guinea qualified for the 2002 Under-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka. He played in six matches of that tournament.[4]

He returned to the senior side to make his List A debut in the 2005 ICC Trophy in Ireland.[7] He has not played for Papua New Guinea since, though he did play for a combined East Asia/Pacific team in the Australia National Country Cricket Championships in 2006.[5]
