ICC to rule on New Zealand application for Kenyan match today

New Zealand's application for the relocating of its World Cup match against Kenya will be heard by the International Cricket Council's executive board tonight (NZ time).

The reason the executive board, and not the World Cup technical committee, is hearing the application is because it was raised by New Zealand before the event technical committee was formed just before the Cup started.

The game is scheduled to be played tomorrow in Nairobi, and the New Zealanders are already practising in Durban for their next match which is against Bangladesh in Kimberley next Wednesday.

An announcement is expected at the end of the meeting.

No comment is expected from New Zealand Cricket until tomorrow.
