List of international cricket five-wicket hauls on Kenyan cricket grounds
The Kenya national cricket team has been an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1981; it played its first One Day International in 1996, and its first Twenty20 International in 2007. At one time it was considered one of the strongest of the associate members of the ICC, particularly after reaching the semi-finals of the 2003 Cricket World Cup. It lost ODI and T20I status in 2014, after failing to qualify for the 2015 World Cup and the 2014 World Twenty20.
In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[1] This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in official One Day International matches.
