Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Khalid Aucho has been installed as captain of the Uganda Cranes for the upcoming Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda after striker Emmanuel Okwi was dropped.<\/p>\n

\u201cDenis Iguma will deputise him as Taddeo Lwanga, Timothy Awany and other senior players will wait in the same line but I expect all my players to behave as leaders during those two matches and going forward,\u201d Micho told KFM Sports on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Aucho, 28, joined Tanzanian giants Yanga this year and has made a good start to life in the southern neighbouring nation. Micho will expect him to help KCCA\u2019s Geoffrey Wasswa fit in having knocked on the door for some time.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old, who left Vipers this year, has suffered a spate of knee injuries that slowed down his development.<\/p>\n

He is now relishing the chance of playing alongside his bossom buddy Halid Lwaliwa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ready to give everything and compete. We want to put everything that has been instructed to us by the coaches into play,\u201d Wasswa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRwanda has players who we know well. It is not an advantage but it\u2019s upon us to put up a good show and try to win.\u201d<\/p>\n
