Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Suraj Karavadra took over the national women\u2019s cricket team coaching role in May and it has taken him four months of preparation for his first tournament.<\/p>\n

He recently named a 14-lady team ahead of the pivotal ICC Africa Women\u2019s Twenty20 Qualifier slate for Botswana next month. The coach however reckons making the final list to Gaborone, with Immaculate Nakisuyi as the skipper, wasn\u2019t a cakewalk.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo sort of get down to 14 was very difficult. Obviously, it was about what sort of styles we want to go with,\u201d said Karavadra, whose girls won the African Championship in 2017.Nakisuyi is among the seven survivors from the squad which featured at the ICC Twenty20 Global Qualifier in Netherlands three years.<\/p>\n

Then, Kevin Awino was the captain but that has since changed. Awino was maintained in the side, alongside experienced Consy Aweko, Janet Mbabazi who is Nakisuyi\u2019s assistant, Stephanie Nampiina and Racheal Ntono. .<\/p>\n

\u201cThe criteria was simple, looking at the practice matches, their previous statistics and kind of understanding what sort of team do we need,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But, the critical elements of the game stood out. \u201cLooking at the style of cricket that is played in the African region, it\u2019s not about the pace bowlers. \u201cSo we need make sure that we are selecting the slow bowlers, spinners and making sure that we\u2019ve got batters who can power hit. If your fielding is very dynamic, agile, that will add an extra edge to the game,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
