Zimbabwe for a series of five One Day Internationals in February and March 2006. Before this tour, Kenya had only played five One Day Internationals since reaching the semi-final of the 2003 World Cup, all of which they had lost. They were keen to acquire more international experience before the 2007 World Cup. Zimbabwe had suffered a series of player disputes and poor results amid continuing political troubles in that country, leading to their self-suspension from Test cricket.[1]

The series ended in a 2–2 draw, with one match abandoned.[2] Kenya had never previously drawn or won a One Day International series.
