Kenya Cricket Team – Cricket became popular in Kenya in the 1880s, after it came under British influence. The first major match took place in December 1899 when the East African Protectorate faced the rest of the world at Mombasa. Kenya’s first visiting team toured Uganda in 1914 and recorded a five wicket victory over the hosts.
The East African cricket team initially represented Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda in international cricket. Their first game was against a non-European South African team in 1958, and they also competed in the 1975 ICC Cricket World Cup and the 1979 ICC Trophy; a poor performance in the latter resulted in disqualification for the 1979 World Cup competition.

His second place finish in the 1994 ICC Trophy meant he qualified for the 1996 ICC Cricket World Cup on the subcontinent. It was during that tournament that they scored their most famous victory to date – defeating the West Indies by 93 runs in a 73-run win over their arch-rivals.
Kenya’s participation in the 1999 ICC Cricket World Cup was less successful than their debut (they lost all five matches), but the team made up for it in 2003.
Although the tournament was initially held in South Africa, two of Kenya’s group stage matches were scheduled to be played on home soil, against New Zealand and Sri Lanka. New Zealand refused to travel to Nairobi for security reasons, but Sri Lanka were beaten by 53 runs. Earlier wins over Canada and subsequent wins over Bangladesh and Zimbabwe gave the Kenyans an unlikely place in the semi-finals, where they scared India before losing by 91 runs.
Off-field problems contributed to a subsequent downturn in Kenyan cricket fortunes, with the 2007 Cricket World Cup their only major international tournament since the heady days of 2003.
