Uganda’s Cricket Cranes have named their 14-man squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional Qualifier C in Abuja, Nigeria.

Captain Riazat Ali Shah will lead the side, with Kenneth Waiswa as vice-captain. The tournament runs from 18 to 25 October, and Uganda will compete against Nigeria, Zambia, Mozambique, Lesotho and The Gambia for two places in the Africa Regional Final.

Uganda are the highest-ranked team in the group (21st in the ICC T20 rankings). They open their campaign against Zambia on 20 October at the Nigeria Cricket Federation Oval 1.

Head coach Steve Tikolo and assistant coach Jackson Ogwang will oversee the squad as the Cricket Cranes chase a place in the 2028 T20 World Cup.
