Omtex ICWC Cricket Institute: The Uganda men’s cricket team will be visiting Sri Lanka for a 14-day training camp as they continue to prepare for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, to be held from June 1-29 in the West Indies and USA. Uganda are in Group C alongside co-hosts West Indies, Afghanistan, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea in what is their first-ever participation in the showpiece event, after winning the Africa leg of the tournament’s qualifiers.

The team will play seven T20 matches in Sri Lanka against select sides during their time in the country and will be based in Galle from February 10-23. “The plan is to give the boys more game time against tougher opposition and also to fine-tune them in terms of skills development and maintenance ahead of the next phase of our preparations which happen to be T20Is.”

“It is also important that we start finding the right combinations by batting and bowling certain players in different situations to test their progress. Sri Lanka just like India gives the batsmen the opportunity to face faster and swing bowlers considering that we are gonna face more quicker pacers than we have been facing,” said Jackson Ogwang, Uganda’s interim Head Coach, in a statement.
