Born in Papua New Guinea in 1974,[2] Arua Uda first represented Papua New Guinea at the 1996 ACC Trophy in Malaysia.

In 2003 he won a gold medal at the South Pacific Games when Papua New Guinea beat Fiji in the final of the cricket tournament.[6] He played for a combined East Asia Pacific team in the Australian National Country Cricket Championships in 2004, doing the same in 2005 and 2006.[3]

In 2005, he played in the repêchage tournament of the 2005 ICC Trophy.[3] Papua New Guinea won the tournament after beating Fiji in the final.[7] This qualified them for the 2005 ICC Trophy in Ireland in which Uda played, making his List A debut.[8]
