Not related to former team-mate Nelson, Nehemiah Odhiambo nevertheless comes from a well-known cricketing family and three other brothers - Shem and James, who are both in the World Cup squad, and Lameck- and two sisters - Margaret and Mary - have played for Kenya. A medium-pace change bowler, he takes wickets but can prove expensive.
Strengths
Brings experience to the side and performs well against better opposition - over a third of his ODI wickets have come against Zimbabwe.
Key stats
World Cup tracker
His one appearance came in the 2007 win over Canada.
Expert view
"He can be a strike bowler as well as the work horse of the attack, and can chip in with the bat as well when needed" - Eldine Baptiste, Kenya coach
