A promising young offspinner who has done well enough in his few senior appearances to suggest he has a bright future with the ball, if not the bat. James Ngoche comes from a well-known cricketing family and three other brothers - Shem and Nehemiah, who are both in the World Cup squad, and Lameck- and two sisters - Margaret and Mary - have played for Kenya.
Strengths
Very promising talent, a more attacking bowler than Kamande - more in the Maurice Odumbe mould of off spinner.
Key stats
World Cup tracker
The 2011 World Cup will be Ngoche's first.
