Cricket Kenya on Thursday promised high-level security for Ireland during their four-day Intercontinental Cup clash and two ODIs this month.

The fixtures, which also include three Twenty20 Internationals, will be played in Mombasa from 12 to 24 February.

The tour was confirmed on Tuesday by Cricket Ireland, who had earlier expressed concern over the security following a United Kingdom travel advisory on Kenya issued in January over a possible terror attack by the Al-Shabaab terrorist organisation of Somalia.

"We are happy that Ireland have accepted to come. Cricket Kenya and the International Cricket Council (ICC) have been engaged in organising a high-level security plan for the team during the two-week tour," said Cricket Kenya chief executive Tom Sears.

"Ireland is a very strong side and is currently the top one-day team and Kenya is privileged to be playing them at the start of the year."

After the Kenya tour Ireland will travel to South Africa for a two-week training camp ahead of the World Twenty20 qualifying tournament in the UAE in March.
