Zimbabwe cut Kenya series to three ODIs

Kenya's one-day series in Zimbabwe has been cut from five matches to three for reasons as yet unclear.

The itinerary for the series was only confirmed last week, and the change has been made eight days before the Kenyans are due to arrive in Harare. While ZC did not offer any explanation for the decision, sources close to the board indicate that it was for financial reasons.

A spokesman for Cricket Kenya said that they had not been advised of the alteration. "As of last night, we have had no notification and it surprises me - but we will wait and see."

In a separate development, it seems likely that Zimbabwe will not be taking part in the tri-series in Bangladesh in March which also involves Kenya. Kenya will play three ODIs against Bangladesh instead.
