David Oluoch Obuya (born 14 August 1979) is a Kenyan former cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a wicket-keeper. Obuya first played cricket at the 1988 Under-19s World Cup, where he starred as an opening batsman.[citation needed] He also plays as a wicket-keeper.
International career
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 once again he played as an opener, alongside Ravindu Shah. He played in the 2003 World Cup, where in the semi-final he set a record for the best eighth-wicket partnership in a match against India, beating the previous mark set by himself and team-mate Tony Suji.[citation needed]
Most recently,[when?] Obuya has played one-day cricket for Kenya against Bangladesh. His brothers, Kennedy Otieno and Collins Obuya, both play cricket in Kenya.[citation needed]
Obuya was the first player in history of T20I as well as in ICC World Twenty20 history to be dismissed being hit wicket, as he fell for a duck in that innings.[1]
In October 2018, he was named as the head coach of the Kenya national cricket team, ahead of the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Three tournament in Oman.[2]
