Career

In the domestic circle, he scored his first List A century in 2019, 13 years after he had played his first domestic one-day match.[5] His ton came in Tripura's 2019–20 Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Madhya Pradesh.

He played in the 2011 Cricket World Cup, when in five matches he scored 133 runs. He was Kenya's second-highest scorer behind Collins Obuya.[6] He made his highest ODI score of 72 in the match against Australia, when he and Obuya added 115 for the fourth wicket.[7]
