Bob Muhati, who plays for KCB, will play as a forward, while Ronnie Omondie, who plays for Mwamba, will play as a half-back.
“We’ve got faith in both these two players, they’ve trained very hard and very well and they will join George Ooro and Dennis Abukuse from the last leg as new starters,” McGrath noted.
Shujaa will be without the services of Vincent Onyala and Bush Mwale, with McGrath noting it would be difficult to replace Onyala.
He revealed that Bush Mwale has not been involved in the team's training due to off-field issues, as he has a part-time job.
Shujaa is in Pool A with South Africa, Great Britain and Australia. The Kenya sevens men's side will play Australia in their opening match on December 2.
Shujaa squad: Nelson Oyoo (Nakuru, Captain), Johnstone Olindi (KCB), Daniel Taabu (Mwamba), Bob Muhati*(KCB), George Ooro (Strathmore Leos), Ronald Omondi*(Mwamba), Billy Odhiambo (Mwamba), Kevin Wekesa (Kabras Sugar), Anthony Omondi (Mwamba), Herman Humwa (Kenya Harlequin), Edmund Anya (Impala), Willy Ambaka, Dennis Abukuse (Menengai Oilers)
