Cricket Kenya (CK) on Friday called off a proposed three-match pre-World Cricket League tour of England following a pay dispute with players.

The 20-man squad was scheduled to leave on Saturday to train and play three friendly games against local sides in Rochdale, Lancashire before travelling to the Netherlands, where the ICC World Cricket League division one tournament gets underway on July 1.

CK chairman Samir Inamdar said the tour was scrapped after the team boycotted their training during the last two days before the trip because they were unhappy with their contracts and the selection of the players.

"We had a meeting with the players to discuss their contracts, which were up for renewal after they expired on May 30. We have given everybody a 10 percent increment," said Inamdar.

"The increment was based on seniority and performances but the players, through their representatives, insisted they wanted a huge pay rise."
