All-time African ODI XI

#1 Full Team

Steve Tikolo will not only be the 12th man but also Kenya's representative in the African team

As with every team, the role of 12th man becomes indispensable. There are numerous contenders ranging from Ray Price to Dale Steyn. Ideally, Jonty Rhodes could be the perfect fit for this position and can enter the arena as a substitute fielder whenever needed.

However, in order to have a fair representation of the entire African continent, a player from Kenya will complete the side. In such case, former skipper Steve Tikolo should be the preeminent pick from the East African nation.

Apart from being one of the best batsmen among Associate teams, he was also a serviceable off-spinner. If the track is expected to offer turn, the all-rounder can even enter the playing eleven as a second spin option.
