The giants will clash in a much-anticipated showdown over the weekend.
Kenya Cup title contestants KCB RFC and Kabras Sugar RFC have revealed their squads ahead of the Saturday final to be held at the Kakamega Showground.
Kabras, the defending champions, have made some changes to the squad, with Kevin Wekesa taking up the starting role ahead of George Nyambua.
Brian Tanga who is returning from Kenya 7s duty has been handed a starting role too and will play at fly-half, with Ntabeni Dukisa pushed to fullback.
A big surprise from Kabras head coach Carlos Katywa is dropping Jone Kubu to the bench despite starring in the win over KCB during the regular season.
Meanwhile, KCB team manager Philip Wamae has conceded that the Sugar Millers look different ahead of their Saturday meeting and credited Kabras’ coach Carlos Katywa with establishing a formidable side.
"Their coach Carlos Katywa has done a marvelous job for the side after taking over from fellow South African Jerome Muller this season," said Wamae as quoted by Nation Sport.
"It's a different Kabras we have seen from the previous years. Kabras have done their work well and deserve to be in the final. It's no longer the first-half side. Their defence didn't leak easily this season, and they are full of Kenya internationals."
However, Wamae hopes that they will avoid mistakes when they tackle Kabras.
"The players understand the magnanimity of the match and with that, they will ensure the mistakes they made in our last meeting don't happen or are minimized," he concluded.
In the 2021 Kenya Cup final, the Bankers fought back from a 20-0 scoreline and beat Kabras 28-25 in sudden death.
