Shem Obado Ngoche (born 6 June 1989) is a Kenyan cricketer. He is the brother of three other Kenyan international cricketers, Lameck Onyango, James Ngoche and Nehemiah Odhiambo.[1]
International career[edit]
Ngoche was one of three brothers, others being James and Nehemiah, in the Kenyan squad for the World Cup held in Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka from 19 February to 2 April 2011.[1]
Ngoche's claim to fame is his bowling consistency. During the tournament, he batted in 3 innings, was dismissed each time and only faced 3 balls. He did not hit any of them.[citation needed]
In January 2018, he was named in Kenya's squad for the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Two tournament.[2] In September 2018, he was named in Kenya's squad for the 2018 Africa T20 Cup.[3] The following month, he was named in Kenya's squad for the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Three tournament in Oman.[4] Initially, Collins Obuya was named captain, but he was ruled out of Kenya's squad due to personal commitments, and Ngoche was named captain in his place.[5][6] He was the leading wicket-taker for Kenya in the tournament, with six dismissals in five matches.[7]
In May 2019, he was named as the captain of Kenya's squad for the Regional Finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier tournament in Uganda.[8][9] In September 2019, he was named as the captain of Kenya's squad for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier tournament in the United Arab Emirates.[10][11] In November 2019, he was named in Kenya's squad for the Cricket World Cup Challenge League B tournament in Oman, but not as the team's captain.[12]
In October 2021, he was named as the captain of Kenya's squad for the Regional Final of the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier tournament in Rwanda.[13]
