One of a number of younger players starting to force their way into the Kenyan national side, Shem Obado Ngoche is a diminutive left-arm spinner whose early performances in the senior team suggested much promise as a limited-overs bowler. Often operating around the wicket, Ngoche does not turn the ball much but has the gift of accuracy. Ngoche comes from a strong cricket-playing family, with five of his siblings having represented the senior men's and women's sides.
