County career

In 2008, having acquired a British passport, Aga signed a one-year deal to play County cricket for Sussex, having played List A cricket for the county during the 2007 season. He was, however, surprisingly recalled to the Kenya side in 2008.[1] Aga spent a further two seasons at Sussex, finally being released by the county at the end of the 2010 season.[2]

Records

Aga was the first batsman to score a T20I half-century when batting at number 8 (or lower), when he scored 52 not out against Scotland on 13 November 2013. This was the highest score at this position until it was exceeded by Simi Singh in 2018.[3]
