Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Tipped by Steve Tikolo as the future of Kenyan cricket, Aga was named as a stand-in captain for the Intercontinental Cup in November 2004. However, as he was studying in England at that time, his availability became a problem. In 2007, he obtained a British passport after gaining a contract with Sussex. He stayed with them for nearly 4 years but could not cement a place in the playing squad and was released in 2010.
After coming back, he has been an useful part of the Kenyan squad. He has enjoyed relatively more success in the T20I team as a handy bowler. Also, several of his performances with the bat have helped Kenya secure good wins over the opposition. During the World T20 qualifiers in November 2013 in a match against Scotland, Aga hit an aggressive 52 not out to help Kenya post an intimidating total of 183. He was also named as the Man of the Match for that game. In January 2014, in the World Cup Qualifier against Netherlands, Aga put up a 100+ stand with Irfan Karim scoring 86 that allowed Kenya to chase 265 and achieve a 4-wicket win.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Rageb Aga made his debut for Kenya in the 2003-04 Carib Cup in the West Indies, having been called up from captaining the Under-19 side to replace Thomas Odoyo who was recovering from a knee injury. Aga acquitted himself well, taking 4 for 71 in one match, and was duly rewarded with a place in the team for the 2004 Champions Trophy. Part of the new generation of emerging Kenyan talent, Aga was tipped by Steve Tikolo,the man who skippered Kenya to the 2003 World Cup semi-final, as a possible successor down the line. The strike which followed the ICC Champions Trophy in 2004 fast-tracked that prediction, and Aga was appointed as stand-in captain for the Intercontinental Cup finals in November 2004. But studying in England made him largely unavailable and in 2007 he gained a British passport contract with Sussex where he stayed for four years without ever cementing a place and he was released in 2010.
