JUSTINE Ligyalingi, team manager of the national U-19 cricket team has confirmed that the side will tour Kenya and Zimbabwe in preparation for the youth World Cup in Sri Lanka, February 5-19.

The youngsters will take part in a regional triangular tournament organised by Africa Cricket Association (ACA) December 18-24 in Mombasa, Kenya.

U-19 Africa giants Namibia and Kenya will also take part in the inaugural tournament coordinated by Africa cricket tournament director and former Uganda national team coach Tom Tikolo.

After a brief Christmas break, the squad will travel to Zimbabwe for a series of build-up matches with their counterparts and various sides in Harare January 4-14.

“Bearing in mind how tough our group is at the World Cup, the boys need to have all possible exposure to build confidence,” Ligyalingi said.
Uganda is grouped with defending champions Pakistan, New Zealand and Bangladesh.
