matches starting with Intercontinental Cup slatted for September 27th
to 30th. The 50-over-a-side Pepsi WCL Champions will then start from

Kenya last played Namibia last year in Windhoek in 8 T20
matches as part of their preparations for the March ICC T20 World Cup qualification
tournament in Dubai.
The cup competition
has prize money of $254,000 for the associate and affiliate teams participating
in the ICC Intercontinental Cup 2011-13. $100,000 will go to the winners, $40,000
for the runners-up while third fourth placed team will receive $20,000 and
$10,000. An outright win by any team in the round-robin stage will see it be
rewarded with $3,000 per match.
The competitions are crucial for qualifying for the 2015 ICC
