Uganda Cricket Association is starting its preparations for the U-19 girls World Cup Qualifiers with an invitational tournament that will feature five teams from different regions.
The U-18 tournament will feature teams from East Enders Hub in Jinja, Soroti Cricket Academy (2), Mukono Cricket Academy and Northern Uganda Cricket Hub.
Uganda failed at the semifinal stage of the 2022 U-19 World Cup Qualifiers in Botswana and this tournament is going to be an avenue to find the talent that should take Uganda to their 1st U-19 Girls World Cup.
All the players in this event are below 18 years of age as the technical team of the U-19 girls team is looking for players.
The teams will play a round-robin format before the top two sides meet in the final on Sunday afternoon. All the games will be played at the St Joseph’s College Layibi, three games every day from 25th-29th January.
