Bhudia was born at Mombasa in April 1980. He was part of the Kenya national under-19 cricket team squad that took in the 2000 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, playing in four Youth One Day Internationals during the tournament against the Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Namibia under-19 cricket teams.[1] With the regular Kenyan side striking, Bhudia was selected in the Kenyan side to face Namibia in the Intercontinental Cup in October 2004, making his debut in first-class cricket.[2] The following month he featured in the semi-final of the competition against Scotland,[3] with Bhudia scoring 79 runs in the Kenyan second innings before being dismissed by Craig Wright.[4] The match ended as a draw, with Scotland progressing having amassed more points in the match.[5] Bhudia was rumoured to be in line for selection in Kenya's squad for their One Day International series against Zimbabwe in early 2009, but he was not selected due to a shoulder injury.[6]
