National team manager Jeff Crowe and a New Zealand Cricket security adviser will be part of an international team to check security in Kenya before a World Cup match there next month.
The ICC delegation will arrive in the African country early next week, in response to concerns voiced by NZCricket.
NZ Cricket chief executive Martin Snedden said the delegation would speak to Kenyan police, government agencies and staff from Western consulates and embassies.
"We are happy with the ICC response to our concern," he said yesterday.
"We would probably have taken a New Zealand delegation of our own, but are pleased to be part of this ICC initiative."
Snedden said the safety of the players and management was taken "very seriously" and NZ Cricket had called for a security check in Kenya before the team played Kenya in Nairobi on February 21.
Sri Lanka will play the other match to be held in Kenya, and manager Ajit Jayasekara has said his team were concerned because of recent terrorist attacks in the port city of Mombasa.
In November, a suicide bomber attacked a hotel, killing 13 people, and a missile was fired at an Israeli airliner.
South Africa and Zimbabwe will host most of the 54 matches and security will cost nearly $4 million.
The ICC is satisfied Zimbabwe is safe for matches, despite political violence and the murder of a 27-year-old Australian tourist at the Victoria Falls on Sunday.
The New Zealand Government has requested that matches be moved from Zimbabwe, although the Black Caps have no fixtures there.
The Government has strengthened a travel advisory to New Zealanders to avoid all but essential travel to Zimbabwe.
