ICC announces new venue for African ICC Intercontinental Cup qualifier

The International Cricket Council today announced that the ICC Intercontinental Cup 2004 match between Uganda and Kenya has been moved from Uganda to a venue in Kenya.

The match will still take place from 23-25 July but will now be played at the Nairobi Gymkhana in Nairobi, Kenya.

ICC Global Development Manager Matthew Kennedy explained that the decision to move the match had been reached in conjunction with the Uganda Cricket Association (UCA) and the Kenya Cricket Association (KCA).

"After due consideration by an ICC inspection and investigation team regarding the status of the newly-laid turf ground in Kampala, Uganda, the ICC decided it was appropriate to move the match to an alternative venue," said Mr Kennedy.

"This decision has been taken in consultation and with agreement from both the Uganda and Kenya Cricket Associations.

"The ICC thanks both the UCA and the KCA for their significant efforts and assistance in rescheduling this match."
