Further to my post on the Associates members ODI program, I found this very interesting article on Cricinfo. Kenya and Scotland to play one away series and one Home series against a Full member each year, now that is moving in the right direction! I wonder, does two away series this year mean we will miss out on one at home? I hope not, as home matches will be very important in spreading interest in the game throughout Kenya. If Kenya are going to be hosting matches, this would be a prime opportunity to play at least one in Mombasa, provided of course that the grounds are brought up to standard. I believe the MSC are working on this. These developments are definitely to be praised, but still need to go further. It is one thing to say that matches will be given to the Associates, but as we have seen in the past with Kenya, it is quite another thing for them to actually happen. So far, the ICC have done a great job in setting up the beginning of the year, but it would be nice to see ALL of the Test teams actually getting on board and PLAYING, not just hosting matches for the Associates.
