Obuya received the interdiction after he the Cricket Kenya Disciplinary Board found him guilty for slapping teammate Irfan Karim on the last day of the seven match series in Colombo, Sri Lanka last Saturday.
Karim, who is the Kenyan team wicket-keeper, received a one-match ban for indiscipline. The two appeared before the Cricket Kenya Disciplinary Committee on Friday for a hearing of their case and subsequent determination.
The incident occurred at Colombo Cricket Club dressing room after rain stopped play.
Trouble between the two is said to have started when the differed in the pitch and after the rain stopped the match, the captain confronted Karim demanding to know why the latter had swung at him after the captain had issued a directive to him.
Karim, the Committee heard nike metcon 4 baratas , is said to have dared Obuya to do whatever he pleased and that is when the captain's hand made an apparent contact with Karim's face.
Kenya's Zimbabwean coach Robin Brown then sat the two down and demanded they reconcile.
Obuya apparently apologized for the incident but Karim, the son of former Kenyan national team captain and a veteran of three World Cups, refused to do so saying he felt he had done nothing wrong.
"The Board's Decision is an affront to justice. This was an incident of assault and the punishment is stated in the rules of the International Cricket Council," Karim told Xinhua soon after receiving the news of the ban.
The ban will apply to international matches meaning Karim will miss one of the two warm-up games before playing official games whereas Obuya will miss both warm-up games.
The incident is the latest case of indiscipline involving players. Last month Kenyan international Tanmay Mishra was dropped from the team hours before departure for Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates for the ICC International Cup and World Cricket League matches against Afghanistan.
He was left out apparently following disagreement with the coaches.

HELSINKI, Oct. 20 (Xinhua) -- "If this is permanent, what will be left of my buying power in 10 or 15 years?" asked Kerttu Saarela nike metcon baratas , a pensioner in her early 70s in Jyvaskyla, Central Finland.
The Nordic country is renowned for its sound pension system, where the purchasing power of pensioners has been partially protected with annual increases based on salaries and prices.
But the government is now defining the increase in 2015 only as 0.4 percent, while the true need could be 1.5 percent, according to analysts.
Complaining about rising heating bills and automobile insurance, Saarela was worried that her immunity against inflation may no longer exist.
Pensioners seem to be the first casualty as Finland nike m2k tekno españa , already grappling with an aging population, tries to adjust its social safety net in the context of current economic challenges.
Expecting negative gross domestic product (GDP) growth for the third consecutive year, Finnish ruling parties have suggested harsh cuts in expenditure.
Heated quarrels over decreased welfare investment caused the left alliance to walk out of the government in March this year.
The international reputation of the Finnish pension system is still good though. Last week, Finland came fourth in the international Melbourne Mercer Global Pension Index. It did well in integrity and transparency. Denmark came first, followed by Australia and the Netherlands.
A recent plan to raise the pension age in Finland from 63 to 65 was accepted by the majority of unions. It is supposed to ease the burden on the system as people live longer.
Last year, the average Finnish monthly pension was 1 nike m2k tekno baratas ,550 euros (1,978 U.S. dollars) before tax. In Finland, pensions amount roughly to a half of the salary earned, while in countries such as Spain and Italy it can be 70 percent.
In terms of value and purchasing power, Finnish pensions are half way in the European scale, slightly worse than in Germany and Sweden.
Denmark and Luxembourg are the most generous. In Eastern Europe nike air max 270 baratas , pensions are much lower, but purchasing power is compensated through the lower cost of living.
Finnish citizens do not have much personal control over their pension plan. The Finnish public work pension system involved no personal accounts and employees were not required to make any payments until the 1990s. Until then, the burden lay with employers alone.
Nowadays, employers still have the main responsibility and have to pay 16 to 18 percent of the employees' salary to a pension company. The employees' payment is 5 to 7 percent of their salary.
Tax-funded basic pensions are still available, but only to those without a sufficient pension savings as an employee, entrepreneur or farmer.
The Finnish system has no upper limit for a monthly work pension. Talking to Xinhua nike air max 98 baratas , Kimmo Kontio, a specialist at the National Centre for Pensions, said the lack of an upper limit ensures that the system gets the commitment of the whole nation.
"Only 5 percent of the current pensions exceed 3,000 euros," he said.
Kontio underlined that the system has no foreseeable financial crisis. "If contributions would all stop today, payment could continue for seven years nike air max flair baratas ," he explained.
Pensioners' major concerns lie in expected value declining. Pensioners' organizations have protested against this risk, but it has had little impact.
Timo Kokko, chief executive of Elakkeensaajat, a left leaning pensioners' organization, told Xinhua that the over a million retirees have huge voting power, but the power of the organization is low.
"While 70 percent of employees belong to labor unions nike vapormax hombre baratas , only 24 percent of retirees belong to pensioners' organizations," he noted.
