The national Cricket coach Eldine Baptiste has fallen out with some of his senior players at the World Cup according to reports from a cricket official.
Kenya has already been well beaten in their opening two matches of the 19th February to April 2nd tournament and face an uphill task to qualify for the final stages.
Cricket Kenya Chairman Samir Inamdar said that the coach has his own way of doing things which did not go down well with some senior players.
New Zealand routed Kenya by 10 wickets after they were defeated by 69 runs in Chennai last Sunday. Kenya captain Jimmy Kamande attributed that debacle to nervousness and promised to do better against Sri Lanka on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Kenya's Paul Biwott finished second in today's Tokyo international marathon behind winner Ethiopia's Hailu Mekonnen.
The 30-year-old Mekonnen, who only began competing in full distance marathons last year, slowly outdistanced Biwott before the 35 kilometre mark to cross the finishing line in two hours, seven minutes and 35 seconds.
Biwott was second in time of 2 hours 08 minutes and 17 seconds, followed by Japan's Yuki Kawauchi, who clocked 2 hours 08 minutes and 37 seconds to qualify for August's world championships in South Korea.
In the women's race Russia's Tatiana Aryasova emerged victorious ahead of Noriko Higuchi of Japan.
