Lucas Oluoch Ndandason (born 7 August 1991, Nairobi, Kenya) is a Kenyan cricketer. Domestically, he previously represented Nairobi Gymkhana Club, but from the 2011 season, he is playing for Coast Pekee in the East African tournaments.
Oluoch's elder brother, Nick Oluoch is a wicketkeeper who plays for Kongonis in the East African tournaments.
After impressing for the Gymkhana Club, Oluoch first got a call-up to the national side during Kenya's home series against Uganda, where they played 3 List A matches in the end of 2010. Oluoch impressed greatly on his official List A debut, taking an impressive 4 wickets for 32 runs, currently his best bowling figures at the List A level. As a result, the Ugandans were bowled out for 123. Kenya eventually took the series 2–1.
Oluoch made it to Kenya's provisional squad for the 2011 Cricket World Cup, but eventually did not make it to the final 15-member squad.
After a dismal World Cup campaign in which the team lost all of their matches, the selectors axed the under-performing seniors, and put into place a performance-based contracts. Oluoch met that high-performance criteria, and was thus offered a central contract, a high honour, by the board.
As a number of players refused contracts offered by the board and left, Oluoch was one of thirteen players who accepted contracts and remained with the governing body. With Cricket Kenya deciding to leave out players who refused contracts, Oluoch received a call-up to play in the team's Intercontinental Cup and Intercontinental Cup One-Day matches against Netherlands to be held away from home.
He made his official One-Day International (ODI) debut against the Dutch at Voorburg in that series (the matches he played against Uganda was only given List A status because Uganda was not an ODI cricket playing nation at that time). He took an impressive three wickets on debut.
