Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The senior national cricket team is yet to fully come to terms with their wobbly display which gifted Rwanda a two-run victory in the Africa Cricket Association (ACA) Twenty20 Cup finals opener in Gauteng, South Africa on Monday.<\/b><\/p>\n

Cricket Cranes coach Jackson Ogwang was far from impressed and he spoke bordering on charged emotions after the title holders failed to reach a target of 116 runs.<\/p>\n

For a side which recently qualified to the ICC Men\u2019s Twenty20 World Cup set to be held in the Americas come June, Ogwang surely wants better.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thought that by qualifying for the World Cup, we would become untouchables and ended up disrespecting mother cricket and it has paid us back,\u201d the unimpressed Ogwang said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always have to maintain and play and to standards no matter the opposition. The job is never done in cricket until the last ball. We deserve to lose and maybe, this is a wake-up call.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, we have to lose while doing the right things. We did not do anything right today,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

To phase out the complacency, some changes are imminent when they take on Malawi on Day Two action in Group A at the Willowmoore Park in Benoni on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Medium pace bowler Jonathan Ssebanja had an economy of 10.75 in four overs and despite picking two wickets, Ogwang could look to a new option to carry the new ball.<\/p>\n

It inevitably means Bilal Hassun will take the new ball.<\/p>\n

At wicket-keeper role, Cyrus Kakuru has lately come under fire for lack of figures in the runs\u2019 column. It is possible for Ogwang to add the gloves\u2019 role to Simon Sessazi and likely introduce veteran Frank Nsubuga for another spin option.<\/p>\n

Kakuru and Robinson Obuya find themselves in a familiar spot of bother because Ogwang will surely bring in Ronak Patel to bat at two or three, a direct replacement for the former. Shah’s inclusion impacts Kenneth Waiswa too.<\/p>\n

Malawi will be looking to bank on the all-round services of Sami Sohail, Kansonkho opening batting pair of Donnex and Gift as well as opening medium pace bowlers Blessings Pondani and Daniel Jakiel.<\/p>\n
