1998 Under-19 Cricket World Cup where he made five apperarances. His one-day career was to follow three years later. He first represented the senior team on a tour of the
West Indies in 2001, where he played as an opener, alongside
Ravindu Shah. He played four matches during the
2003 World Cup in which Kenya reached the semi-final. His brothers,
Kennedy Otieno and

Kenya national cricket team, ahead of the
