Bright Anukani has been named in the Uganda Cranes squad to take part in the Cosafa tournament.
The Proline attacker has been one of the revelations of the campaign scoring over 12 goals and made more than 13 assists in arguably the most successful campaign for his club.
The team under the tutorship of Abdallah Mubiru and Charles Livingstone Mbabazi has all the six players dropped from the Afcon squad including goalkeeper Charles Lukwago who will link up with the Egypt bound team in Abu Dhabi.
However, there is no place for Express FC winger cum striker Michael Birungi, Mbarara City’s Ivan Eyam, SC Villa’s David Owori and U-17 goalkeeper Jack Komakech.
The team is set to depart for Durban, South Africa on Thursday ahead of the tournament which kicks off on May 25.
