The East Africa cricket team was a team representing the countries of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia. Their first game was against a South African Non-European team in 1958. East Africa appeared in the 1975 World Cup[5] and the 1979, 1982 and 1986 ICC Trophies. In the last two of these Kenya was also represented in its own right, so that East Africa was effectively a Ugandan, Tanzanian and Zambian team.
East Africa was an associate member of the ICC from 1966 to 1989, after which its place was taken by East and Central Africa.
