Uganda Sports Press Association (USPA) has voted the Cricket Cranes team that qualified for the T20 World Cup in West Indies in June, team of November. 

They beat City Oilers Basketball Club and qualified for the continental BAL tournament and Caesar Chandiga who won the 2023 National Men's Pool Open Championship Uganda and Lady Rugby Cranes who won the 2023 Safari 7s in Kenya. 

USPA members also voted professional boxer John Serunjogi as the sports personality of December. Serunjogi became the first Ugandan professional boxer to win the World Boxing Association (WBA) - Africa light heavyweight belt away from home in the last ten years after he knocked out Guinea's Ibo Maier.
