  • Having made his debut in 2007, he went on to earn 60 caps for the national team. He was appointed captain in 2013, taking over from Dennis Oliech.
  • Also earning call-ups to the squad are a number of fresh faces. FC Talanta forward Emmanuel Osoro, who is currently second in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF-PL) scoring charts with 16 goals, has been included.
