Kenya-Uganda fixture moved to Nairobi

Kenya's ICC Intercontinental Cup match against Uganda, which was to be held in Uganda, will now be played in Nairobi instead, according to a report in Nation, a Kenyan newspaper. With the match less than a month away, an unsuitable pitch brought about the change in venue.

Matthew Kennedy, ICC's global development manager, said, "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." He added that the decision was agreed to by the boards of both countries.

This African league fixture of the Intercontinental Cup will take place from July 23-25 at the Nairobi Gymkhana. The winners of the league will play toppers from other continents in the semi-finals in Sharjah.
