Source-derived summary

Ramesh Kumar Sethi (born 4 September 1941) is a former Kenyan cricketer who represented East Africa in one first-class match and three One-Day Internationals in the 1975 World Cup.

He was born in Nakuru and received his education at Menengai High School and Nairobi Teacher Training College. Before immigrating to the UK, he established himself as a prominent teacher in Nakuru.

He was in the combined East African team for every match the team played in the World Cup. Sethi was primarily selected as an all rounder. However, in the three matches that he played he took only one wicket, in his debut against New Zealand. His figures were 1 for 51. Sethi ended up as top-scorer for East Africa in their last ODI against England, scoring 30 runs.

Although his first-class and international career lasted for only one year, Sethi continued to play Minor Counties cricket with Shropshire from 1976 to 1981; his best season was 1977 when he took 28 wickets in 7 matches. He was employed as the cricket professional at Ellesmere College, Shropshire, between 1976 and 1988; and then moved to the same position at Harrow School, London.

The account is most persuasive where Ramesh, Sethi and Kenyan can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as kenyan cricketer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7289440. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1941, 1975, 1976 and 1981.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
