The glittering trophy, which is in Uganda on a four-day visit, has toured places including State House Entebbe and the Indian High Commission.

The sight of the men’s International Cricket World Cup (ICC) World Cup trophy in Uganda is one Cricket enthusiasts will cherish forever.

The glittering trophy, which is in Uganda on a four-day visit, has toured places including State House Entebbe and the Indian High Commission.

It also made a public appearance at the Kyambogo Cricket Oval, with many posing for pictures.

Former Cricket Cranes captain Davis Karashani has revelled in the trophy coming to Uganda, stressing that it’s a massive inspiration for the next generation in Ugandan cricket.

“The trophy being here shows that the ICC recognizes that Uganda is a cricketing nation that has the pedigree and history to honourably be a host, which is a big win for the country,” Karashani told Pulse Sports.

“This will have a significant impact on the next generation; they will take inspiration from the sight of it at close range and within touching distance.

“A couple of us have been part of the near-miss qualification campaigns as we tried to reach the World Cup, so it’s inspiring even to us who left the stage.”

The trophy tour will head to Murchison Falls, the Source of the Nile and Jinja SS, on Monday before concluding its time with a visit to Parliament on Tuesday before departing.

Karashani has been part of several near-miss qualification campaigns with the Cricket Cranes for the men’s World Cup.Much has he retired from international cricket; the most recent exit came in 2022 when Uganda exited the World Cup qualifiers in the challenge League B in Jersey.
