About Tom Tikolo

  • Tom Jones Tikolo (born 24 October 1961) is a former Kenyan cricketer.
  • He captained Kenya in 22 ICC Trophy games, more than anyone else.
  • Despite that, he only played in one first class match, although he did well, scoring 79 in one innings.
  • After ending his playing career, Tikolo became the development officer for East Africa.
  • In 2005, he was named as the new CEO of Cricket Kenya and also as a national selector.
  • Tikolo is the brother of cricketers David and Steve Tikolo. On 22 December 2009, Tikolo quit as Chief Executive of Cricket Kenya after US$10,000 he claimed while in the West Indies for an Under-15 tournament in May 2008 was unaccounted for, following an investigation by Cricket Kenya.
  • The money had been given to Tikolo directly by a team sponsor, for what Tikolo claimed was needed to fund matches for the team in Dubai, on their way back to Kenya.
  • In reality, there were no matches being held for the team in Dubai.
  • Normally such money would enter the respective board's central bank account.
  • Tikolo had then claimed a bag containing the money was stolen a few days later, which he reported to the sponsors but not to the local police.
