Kakamega Ingo 7s MVP and Player of the Final, Lucky Dewald, along with David Williams, Albert Alela, Patrick Wainaina, Leon Nyang, Brian Ratila, and Alvin Mwamburi, have all been retained in the squad.
Kenya Harlequin will be aiming for success in the Dala 7s, a title they last won in Kisumu in 2012.
The team heads into the tournament in strong form, having featured in the first two finals of the season and claiming victory in the Kakamega Ingo 7s with a dramatic 17-12 comeback win in sudden death.
