Profile Summary

A stylish, elegant and a classy right hander, Shah was known for his solid technique and wide range of strokes. Shah made his international debut with a series of good scores in the triangular series held in India in 1998. A batsman who could go on to get a big score if he got his eye in, Shah enjoyed a reasonable 1999 WC in England and was talked about as a potential Test batsman for Kenya.

Kenya enjoyed its best ever showing in the 2003 WC; Shah impressed one and all with a couple of fifties against South Africa and Canada. A serious knee injury in 2004 threatened his cricketing career but Shah surprised one and all with a superb comeback in 2007. He scored his first ODI century against Scotland in Mombasa and had reasonable success in the 2007 WC.

The 2007 WC was the last time that Shah wore Kenyan colours. He now runs two successful businesses in Kenya.
