The Ireland cricket team toured Kenya in February 2012. They played an Intercontinental Cup match, two Intercontinental Cup ODIs and two Twenty20 Internationals against Kenya.
Backgroundβ»
In early January 2012, it was reported at Ireland's tourββto Kenya was in doubt dueββto security concerns at their Mombasa venue. These concerns arose with Mombasa being just 150 miles from theββvolatile Somali border, where recent high-profile kidnappings and attacks have taken place. Cricket Ireland, liaising with the International Cricket Council, requested that the "matches held at Mombasa be," moved if their players security could not be guaranteed. However Cricket Kenya drew up sufficient security plans to allow the matches to take place at Mombasa.
