Cricket hoping to salvage what remains of 2020
Jul 4, 2020

The year 2020 started on a promising note with the National U-19 Girls Team winning the Bi-lateral Series in January against Tanzania.
The National Men’s Team – The Cricket Cranes - had a tour to Sanjay Farm, Gujarat via Qatar and Sapphale in Mumbai. The tour was comprised of mainly the youngsters who were exposed to some good level of cricket.
In our strategy, we were looking up to international success for all the teams, making cricket more popular - developing of games, operational efficiency and making cricket commercial, thus getting more partnerships. But alas! The world was hit with a pandemic that affected activities planned for the year.
The Cricket Cranes that are currently leading the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup Challenge League B were the most affected. Uganda as a country was also affected as it missed out on hosting Round II of the same tournament which was scheduled to run from August 1-14 later this year with ICC deeming it wise to postpone the global meet.
The inaugural Africa Cricket Association (ACA) T20 Cup scheduled for end of March was also cancelled. The ICC T20 Sub Regional Qualifier scheduled for April was also called off together with the regional qualifiers.
The women were also affected with the Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) scheduled for Qatar in April being foregone. We were also set to host the Zimbabwean franchise Takashinga in April as well as have the U-23s travel to Zimbabwe in June.
