It was such a cold moment when the Uganda National team for cricket flagged itself off to go and represent Uganda in the team tour to Tanzania as they get set for the world cup qualifiers
This function was done in the absence of the nation’s sports governing board the National Council of Sports (NCS) whose offices were found closed, claiming that today was Uganda’s Liberation day.
It should be noted that all national teams as they depart for Nations duty, the team captain is officially handed with the flag which signifies a blessing and authority to represent Uganda, something that missed this time round.
The team is to set off on the 27th of January 2018 to go to Dar Es Alam and shall return on the 1st of February 2018.
The team captain Kevin Awino said that inspite of the fact that NCS was not there to bless them, they are ready to win all the games in Tanzania.
“The team of 14 in too bold and confident that the tournament shall give us a good race as we prepare for world cup.” Noted Awino,
