UGANDAN cricketers will test themselves against Australian stars when Melbourne Cricket Club visits Kampala next month.

Players from the famous Lords Cricket oval in Australia, are due in Kampala February 13 to play matches against the national cricket team (Feb. 14), U-19 side (Feb. 16-17), select XI (Feb. 18) and also against a Kenyan U-19 side (Feb. 22-23).

“Initially, they were supposed to spend a week in Uganda and two weeks in Kenya but the situation in Kenya forced them to change the programme. They will now spend all the three weeks here,” said local cricket association secretary Ansasira Badu.

The oldest cricket club in the world, that hosted the first test game between Australia and England in 1971 and one day international, is also expected to play a three-day game (Feb. 25-27) on top of giving coaching tips to the Ugandan and Kenyan cricketers.

“It will be made up of star players although we are yet to get the final list of those to make the trip,” Badu added.
Some matches will take place at Kyambogo as Lugogo oval will be hosting the UB40 music show.
