The International Cricket Council has appointed referee Mike Proctor to inspect facilities in Kenya as the country prepares to resume hosting ODI matches. According to local officials Kenya will host three ODI matches against Bangladesh next month and the programme will culminate with the inaugural ICC World Cricket League in January 2007.

During his visit, Proctor will tour five venues in Nairobi, including the Nairobi Gymkhana Club that staged the ICC knockout tournament in 2000 and the Indian Ocean town of Mombasa.

Cricket Kenya (CK) chairman Samir Inamdar said: “We need to have many of our facilities upgraded for official ODIs. Apart from the Nairobi Gymkhana, the other existing facilities need to be upgraded as well.”
