Lameck Onyango Ngoche (born 22 September 1973) is a Kenyan former cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler. Though initially not one of cricket's more successful figures, his career turned around during his second year in 1997, when he switched roles from bowler to a specialist tail-ender for the ICC Trophy.

Career

[edit]

Since 2004 Onyango has developed into an effective bowling all-rounder and followed up his maiden first-class half century with match winning figures of 6–21 in Kenya's 2005 Intercontinental Trophy victory over Uganda. Later, he worked on his batting and made some handy contributions to the Kenyan batting line up.

After five years, Onyango was recalled in a bizarre fashion - as a number 11 against Australia in 2002, but did not bowl throughout. Though missing Kenya's World Cup campaign of 2003, he was recalled for 2004 ICC Champions Trophy. In November 2019, he was named in Kenya's squad for the Cricket World Cup Challenge League B tournament in Oman.[1]

In April 2022, Cricket Kenya named Onyango as the interim head coach of Kenya's women's national cricket team.[2]
