Ayacko said he had sought ICC approval after receiving assurances from the stakeholders, who met in Nairobi on February 13, that they have disaffiliated from the Kenya Cricket Association (KCA), which was disbanded in January for financial mismanagement.
"I have studied the issue as it is and the way forward is not to allow the affairs of KCA to steal the limelight," Ayacko told reporters at a news conference.
"The only body we recognise is Cricket Kenya."
He said the officials he appointed to an interim committee to replace the KCA last month would act in that capacity for Cricket Kenya until elections are held.
Ayacko said the government had been forced to formally recognise the new body because of persistent lawsuits brought by the KCA to prevent action against it over the past five years. "Under the mismanagement of the KCA, the game has been bedevilled with internal wrangles, corruption and misappropriation of funds," he said.
"This has led to disillusionment among the players and other stakeholders who have boycotted playing for the country and supporting cricket activities," Ayacko added.
The new association has been given the mandate to select the national team to play Namibia in the ICC Intercontinental Cup in Windhoek from February 25-27. Cricket Kenya acting chairman Isaac Kalu.
