Born on June 25, 1971, Steve Tikolo is considered as one of the most accomplished batsman ever to emerge from Kenya. A right-handed middle order batsman and part time right-arm medium pace bowler, Tikolo also bowls quite effective off-spin in the shorter form of the game.
A delight to watch when in full flow, Tikolo possesses all the shots in the book and has a free flowing techniques that can please the purists as well as a good hand-eye co-ordination. Tikolo made his debut during the 1996 WC held in the sub-continent and made a fine impression scoring 65 on his debut against India. He followed it up with 29 in a low scoring match against the West Indies and 96 against Sri Lanka.
Tikolo further enhanced his reputation as Kenya's premier batsman with 147 against Bangladesh in the 1997 ICC Trophy final. The innings gave them official ODI status and booked Kenya's place in England for the 1999 World Cup. It was another successful World Cup for Tikolo as he made a pair of 50's against India and England.
A consistent batsman, Tikolo scored 3 centuries in his ODI career. Tikolo was named as the Kenyan captain in 2002 and led his team to a successful campaign in the 2003 WC. Kenya reached the WC semis and calls for Test recognition reached a crescendo.
Cruelly for Tikolo and Kenya, problems in the Kenyan Cricket Association and mismanagement meant that the game suffered. After a poor 2004 Champions Trophy he quit as captain and instead led a players' strike in protest of internal politics. The strike forced a new regime and he returned as captain.
Tikolo played in the 2007 World Cup and the following one in 2011, but lack of exposure and opportunities meant that his career was one of unfulfilled promise. Tikolo retired from the game after the 2011 WC at the age of 39. In July 2012, he was appointed as the new batting coach of Uganda by national coach and former Kenya team-mate Martin Suji.
Tikolo was called out of retirement by the Kenyan Cricket Board for the ICC World T20 qualifiers and the 42-year old made a comeback for his team. Unfortunately, Kenya did poorly in the qualifiers and finished 11th on the list, losing their chance to get into the main tournament.
