Uganda host Rwanda in ICC warm-up

Uganda's women will host their counterparts from Rwanda between October 12 and 14 in a series of warm-up games at Lugogo Cricket Oval.

The matches are aimed at preparing the sides for the ICC Eastern Africa Regional women's tournament which takes place in Nairobi this December. Four countries will participate - Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.

Uganda and Rwanda were due to meet this weekend but the games were postponed. "Most of the Rwandese players are doing exams and their coach Eric Mbanga has requested us to postpone the series to next weekend," a Uganda Cricket Association official told The Monitor.

Uganda are the defending champions of the ICC Eastern Africa women's regional tournament.
