5 cricketers from 'minnow' teams who could have turned heads for other countries

#5 Steve Tikolo (Kenya)

Steve Tikolo captained the Kenyan side in the 2007 World Cup

The former Kenya captain who took his team to the 2003 World Cup semis is the highest run-scorer from his country in ODIs. He, in fact, featured in four World Cups between 1996 and 2007, leading the African nation to an unprecedented semi-final berth in the 2003 edition. The elegant right-hander is currently second in the list of batsmen having played the most number of ODIs without playing a Test.

Tikolo holds the record for scoring the most number of runs for Kenya (3,428), with 3 centuries and 24 fifties to his name. The former Kenyan skipper was no mug with the ball either, claiming 94 wickets at an economy of 4.80, which is good enough to see him lie second in the highest wicket-takers list for Kenya – after Thomas Odoyo.

Tikolo last played in the 2011 World Cup qualifiers where his team went on to secure a place in the main edition. He is currently the coach of the Uganda Cricket team.
