Kenyan board delays elections

Cricket Kenya has delayed the national elections by four weeks to July 22 to allow a few outstanding matters to be resolved.

The elections were due to be held on June 24 but the issues with the NPCA, allied to the fact that Samir Inamdar, the CK chairman, needs to be in London that weekend for the start of the ICC's annual get together in London. It is likely that the AGM will amend the requirement for all meetings and elections to be held by June 30 as this almost always clashes with the ICC meeting. It is believed that a date of July 31 will apply from next year.

It also emerged that one of the four provinces - Centrals - has been suspended after investigations showed that there was no meaningful cricket being played there. That leaves three main branches - Nairobi, Coast and Rift Valley.

At least one of those - the Nairobi Provincial Cricket Association - has yet to hold an AGM and present their audited accounts to members which is a requirement before they can take part in national elections.
