Haniisha Muhameed is a must-have for the She Cranes ahead of the Vitality Netball Cup next week.
The player was a big miss when the She Cranes played in Wales, and against the likes of England, Australia, and New Zealand, she will be needed.
Uganda had to play with a shorter defence in Wales but it is well known that the other teams have extremely tall defenders which will make it hard for our defensive pairing of Falidah Kadondi and Christine Nakitto.
"We want to, first of all, see Haniisha joining the team because as you saw we had a problem with our defence as you saw the other shooters are tall, and our defence was slightly shorter. the moment we get Haniisha in London I think we are going to give those people a hard time," said coach Mugerwa.
The She Cranes lost the first test against England, but they were able to come back strong in the final two matches of the series.
Lillian Achola was particularly good in game two against Wales and brought her best, which gave her player of the match plaudits.
Mary Nuba was voted player of the series after the match on Saturday, and her reliability will have to come in handy.
