Asati made his Kenya Simbas debut in August 2019 starting in their 31-16 win over Zambia at RFUEA Grounds in the Victoria Cup return leg match.
Asati also won the Man of the Match award in the clash. The Rugby Africa Barthes Cup winner with Kenya Under 20 will be keen to carry the form to semis where the Simbas are to face Algeria.
Algeria qualified for the semi-final after eliminating Senegal who beat Kenya Simbas at Nyayo Stadium in Pool stage matches in 2021.
The match is scheduled for Wednesday 6 July 2022 with the winner set for the final scheduled for Sunday.
