Alpesh Vallabhdas Vadher (Hindi: अल्पेश वाधेर), named after his dad (born September 7, 1974 in Nairobi) is a former Kenyan cricketer of Indian origin. He is a right-handed batsman. Having made a commendable 42 on his debut against Bangladesh in 1997, he did little more until the 1999 Cricket World Cup, in which he made two fifties, including an unbeaten 73 against Sri Lanka.[1]

He retired in the year 2000, but was called back by the team in time for the 2003 Cricket World Cup along with Aasif Karim, the former Kenyan captain.[2] He retired for a second and final time following the close of the World Cup.[3]

After leaving cricket he married Shital Vadher and is currently working for PKF in Kenya and is a partner.
