Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Uganda\u2019s World Cup fixtures are going to be predominantly night affairs. But despite the Cricket Cranes undertaking several training and build up camps in Kampala, Jinja, India, Ghana and Galle, (twice), they were yet to train under the lights.<\/b><\/p>\n

And since coach Abhay Sharma\u2019s arrival last month, his one cry to the Uganda Cricket Association (UCA) Board has been to secure some night training and matches for the team.<\/p>\n

Sharma\u2019s wishes will become the association\u2019s will when the team gets a chance to train under the lights today and possibly play one of their two remaining matches in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

The team shifted camp from Galle to Colombo over the weekend after picking up their first victory \u2013 an 8-run win – in a largely impressive display against a strong Sri Lanka Development side.<\/p>\n

Squad announcement<\/b><\/p>\n

Training under the lights will certainly pump up the morale in the provisional squad\u2019s training camp a notch further with Press that the final squad for the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup squad scheduled for June 1-29 in the USA and West Indies could be announced by UCA on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cICC has given the mandate of announcing squads to the respective boards via media and we will follow suit soon,\u201d revealed UCA Hon. Secretary Jackson Kavuma. \u201cAlthough the final squad will be announced later today with the travelling reserves we will have picked, the coaches and selectors have a right to change it before the final ICC deadline on May 24. The players will be urged to continue working hard in due time because anything can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team has had a chance to work with a full technical team with assistant coach Jackson Ogwang and coach Sharma having his first sight with the team\u2019s consultant Craig George Williams \u2013 a Namibian cricket legend.<\/p>\n

The team is scheduled to play two strong outfits; the Sri Lanka Army and Sri Lanka Police, featuring several international players on Tuesday and on May 10 respectively.<\/p>\n
