Ireland's tour to Kenya in February is in doubt because of the ongoing security situation in the country.
Both British and Irish governments have warned of the increased risk of terrorist attack within 150 miles of the Somali border. While Mombasa is well away from that zone, Cricket Ireland is liaising with the ICC and the matches may be relocated if the safety of Ireland's players cannot be guaranteed.
Ireland are due to play an Intercontinental Cup match, two one-day World Cup qualifiers and three T20s in Mombasa.
Tom Sears, Cricket Kenya's CEO, told ESPNcricinfo that the foreign offices' advice was being taken very seriously. "The security arrangements for both sides is something of paramount importance," he said. "We are reviewing the security plans and are liaising with Cricket Ireland and the ICC. I remain confident the games can be staged without problems."
