In 2008, Otieno was selected as captain of The Southern Stars, a team in Kenya's recently launched domestic cricket competition the Sahara Elite League.
His most recent big scores came when he made 93 in The Southern Stars' only win in the one-day edition of the Sahara Elite league.
[2] Otieno made his ODI debut in 1996, but played his finest innings in 1997, scoring 144 against Bangladesh, in a then-world-record 225-run partnership with Dipak Chudasama.
Otieno played 71 of Kenya's 74 ODIs between the 1996 World Cup and the 2005–06 tour of Bangladesh (only missing three home matches against the West Indies in 2001).
However, he was dropped for the first 2006 Intercontinental Cup first class game against the Netherlands, and vowed to quit international cricket as a result.
