Hitesh Subhash Modi (born 13 October 1971) is a former Kenyan cricketer.[1] He was a left-handed batsman and a right-arm offbreak bowler.

International career

Having made his ODI debut in 1992, Modi became part of the middle order of the team, as well as being involved in the 1996, 1999 and 2003 Cricket World Cups and the 1994 and 1997 ICC Trophy. Having seen several players fall by the wayside due to disagreements over contracts, including Steve Tikolo, Modi was invested as captain.
