CRICKET Belief, team effort delivered the Capricorn Eagle Quadrangular series for Victoria Pearls
Head coach Lawrence Ssematimba has opened up about how belief and teamwork enabled his team to claim the top prize.
They will be joined by Div II qualifiers set to be determined in October in Botswana to battle for two slots to qualify for the global qualifiers to represent Africa.
Uganda has successfully hosted several high-profile ICC-sanctioned cricket tournaments, the most recent being the Challenge League B Cricket League in 2022 and the Victoria Series in 2023.
Mwanja adds that they will create an excellent cricket experience for the fans.
"We did well when we hosted the challenge league B last year; we are going to do better and give the cricket fans a great experience."
The games are scheduled to take place at the Lugogo and Entebbe cricket ovals.
In 2017, the Victoria Pearls won the Africa regional qualifiers in Namibia, which earned them a ticket to the global qualifiers, where they represented Africa in the Netherlands but finished 5th out of eight teams.
