2. Aasif Karim
Aasif Karim was probably one of the most dynamic members of the squad perhaps second only to Steve Tikolo and also the most experienced member of the squad. He retired after the 1996 World Cup but was persuaded to return in 2003 on account of his experience.
He was one of the best performers of the squad, doing particularly well in the Super Sixes match against Australia. The Aussies so far had seemed unshakeable but for the first time, Karim with his figures of 8.2-6-7-3 against them provided a bit of challenge. Though Austraila ultimately won that match, it was Karim who received the MOTM award.
Karim also represented Kenya in the Davis Cup in Tennis in 1988 and he retired for good after losing the semi-final against India in 2003.
