Biography

Ngoche was one of three brothers, others being Shem and

Nehemiah, in the Kenyan squad for the World Cup held in Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka from 19 February to 2 April 2011.

Suspension

He was suspended from bowling in international cricket in 2015 after the ICC found his action to be illegal.{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-qualifier-2015/content/story/898923.html |title=Ngoche suspended for illegal action |access-date=15 July 2015 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}

In order to resume bowling, Ngoche was required to have his action cleared through an independent assessment at an ICC-accredited biomechanics laboratory. He underwent unofficial testing of his bowling action as part of his remedial work at the Pakistan Cricket Board's biomechanics centre at Lahore in August 2016.{{Cite web |title=Kenya's Ngoche undergoes test on bowling action in Lahore |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/kenya-s-james-ngoche-undergoes-test-on-bowling-action-in-lahore-1046841 |access-date=2023-12-07 |work=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}
