[68] At that stage the governing body had dissolved internally and Kenyan cricket opportunities were limited and international cricket for them had virtually ceased.
A rebuilding process began in 2005. The player strikes ceased, and Kenya again reached the semi-finals of the Intercontinental Cup. They warmed up for the semi-finals in Windhoek with a tour of Zimbabwe, to play two first-class and one one-day match against Zimbabwe A. They won all three of those games,[70] and drew against Bermuda in the semi-final of the 2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup[71] but lost to Ireland in the final, despite scoring 404/4 in their first innings.
