 Kenya have barely played since the 2003 World Cup semi-finals |
The head of Kenya's disbanded cricket board has welcomed a decision to send a mediation team to resolve the crisis. The Kenya Cricket Association was dissolved by the government in January amid allegations of misuse of funds.
The new body, Cricket Kenya, has not yet been acknowledged by the ICC, which has since withheld development funding.
"We are interested in seeing the crisis ended amicably for the good of the game and players," KCA chairman Sharad Ghai told news agency AFP.
The International Cricket Council board has recommended that an African Cricket Association delegation should visit.
Ghai added: "The news that ICC will be sending ACA officials to mediate in the matter is very positive and welcome."
A group of leading players refused to play for the national team while the KCA was in charge because of contractual differences.
And the team's English coach Andy Moles quit to take a similar post with Scotland.
A motion to strip Kenya of its one-day status will be tabled at the ICC's annual general meeting in June.
