He acknowledged the initial nervousness in camp but was pleased with how the players adapted to his coaching style and the high intensity required at the international level.
"I thought they did very well for the first day. I mean, they acquitted themselves very well, adapted to what I wanted as well. So that was nice to see, and there's some decent, good quality in there, which surprised me. But it's always a benefit for the country and the team," he added.
The coach also confirmed that the squad was not yet at full strength, with key players from Gor Mahia and Tusker FC being granted an exemption due to their respective club commitments on Friday and Saturday.
"So yeah, so the first day out, so far so good. It will just be the players that have been called up together with this lot now. So yeah, I’m expecting that I’m gonna have about 17 or 18 players because Gor Mahia and Tusker have asked the federation if we could give the players a pass since they have important matches on Friday and Saturday," McCarthy revealed.
