Kennedy Dasrath Venkersammy[a] (February 12, 1951 - August 31, 2024) is a former international cricketer who represented the United States national team between 1982 and 1986.

[1] Having continued to play club cricket in the U.S., Venkersammy was eventually selected to make his international debut at the 1982 ICC Trophy in England.

He played in four of his team's seven matches at the tournament, with notable performances including an innings of 39 against Zimbabwe and bowling figures of 2/9 against Israel.

Venkersammy's final international appearances came four years later, at the 1986 ICC Trophy, although he was only selected for two matches.

Venkersammy was more distantly related to the Etwaroo brothers (Romain, Reginald, and Tyrone), and also to Rohan Kanhai, a West Indies Test player.
