Uncertainity looms in Cricket Kenya after the chairperson of the governing board, Jackie Janmohammed and other members threw in the towel.
Janmohammed, who made history in December 2012 when she became the first woman to head a board of cricket in the world, resigned on Saturday following Kenya's dismall performance at the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Two.
The standings left Kenya at the bottom, causing them to be relegated to Division Three, the fourth tier of international cricket, in what represented the lowest ebb of a once proud sport.
“One of the consideration that I took to account was the performance of the national team and somebody had to take responsibility for it,” Janmohammed told BBC.
She said she had considered the resignation in December last year and extensively explained why she quit.
Her resignation was preceded by the quitting of interim coach Thomas Odoyo and captain Rakeep Patel.
"The two officials had already stepped down ans I took it as a responsibility to do the same," she said.
Kenya, once recognised as one of the best non-Test playing nations, were relegated to Division Three after losing five matches in the Division Two competition.
“It was a very bad outing for Team Kenya, let us not hide away from that. That is what happened,” Janmohammed added.
