Bas is right.
It’s Aasif Karim. He played the Davis Cup tennis, and represented Kenya in cricket.
Good on you, Bas.

Was Karim the renaissance man of Kenya cricket?

Yeah, apparently they reached the semi finals of a world cup too. Weird.

Asif Karim seems to be the right answer as he fits to every respect clue you have given out there. He played three world cup tournaments and captained Kenya in one world cup tournament. Karim also led Kenya’s Davis Cup tennis team. His impressive performance helped Kenya to reach the semi final of 2003 world cup and he is considered to be perhaps the best ever spinner played for Kenya.

Moreover, he has an Indian connection too. His father, Yusuf Karim, was born in Mumbai and moved to Mombasa, a coastal area of Kenya. His father also represented Kenya in cricket as well as in tennis.

Ali Hassimshah Omarshah? Zimbabwe

The first coloured player in the Zimbabwe team.
Not sure if he captained, though.

Um, no, Chinaman.

Thanks for playing all. The answer is up.
