Kenya's Under-15s will take part in a three-week tournament in the West Indies this week, to prepare for the 2010 Under-19 World Cup. Kenya are the only African nation following the withdrawal of Zimbabwe, who had visa problems. Malaysia have replaced them.

"We are focusing on the 2010 Under-19 World Cup that will be held in Kenya and intend to prepare our team most of whose players will come from this age group," Tom Tikolo, Cricket Kenya's chief executive, said.

Aside from West Indies and Kenya, the other countries participating are Bangladesh, Netherlands, Ireland, Pakistan and an ICC American Development team - a composite of players from Bermuda, Canada, Cayman Islands and Bahamas.

Kenya open their campaign against the American Development team in Barbados on April 19.
