When he first played for Kenya in 2006, Mumbai-born Tanmay Mishra was widely regarded as the most promising young batsman for some time, but after a poor World Cup in 2007 he headed to India to continue his education and disappeared from the scene completely, so much so that for a time the selectors believed he was lost to the cause. He is back just in time for the World Cup but his form leading into the tournament has been patchy.
Strengths
A sound technique and no shortage of courage, and is also an outstanding fielder.
Key stats
World Cup Tracker
A poor World Cup in 2007 when he scored 37 runs in three innings was soon followed by a three-year self-imposed exile.
Expert view
"A young and busy player, he can improvise and is very wristy. He uses his feet against spinners, and manipulate the singles. Also, he is a good runner between the wickets" - Eldine Baptiste, Kenya coach
