Known for his fast-medium bowling, Odhiambo was the first player to take a T20I five-wicket haul on the home soil when he did it on 4 February 2010 against Scotland at Nairobi and also became the second bowler to grab a five-wicket haul in T20I history. He was also the first Kenyan to achieve this feat.[1]

In January 2018, he was named in Kenya's squad for the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Two tournament.[3] In September 2018, he was named in Kenya's squad for the 2018 Africa T20 Cup.[4] In November 2019, he was named in Kenya's squad for the Cricket World Cup Challenge League B tournament in Oman.[5] In October 2021, he was named in Kenya's squad for the Regional Final of the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier tournament in Rwanda.[6]
