“The team has prepared very well, we have had sufficient time to prepare the girls and be champions,” he said. “We expect stiff competition from all the teams, but as long as we do what we have to do well, we should do well.”

The Baby Victoria Pearls will kick off their campaign on September 22nd against Namibia at the Gahanga 2 ground.

Their journey to the World Cup will also see them face Kenya and hosts Rwanda in the group stage.

The top two teams from each group will advance to the semifinals, with the winner of the final earning the right to represent Africa at the U-19 T20 World Cup.

The team’s squad features a blend of youth and experience, with several players having previously represented Uganda at the senior level.

Full Squad:

Jimia Mohammad (Captain), Malisa Ariokot, Lona Anyait, Patricia Timong, Shadiah Gilingish Nabulime, Rashidah Tikabula, Irene Mutonyi, Immaculate Nandera, Mary Patricia Apolot, Asumin Akurut, Jane Naume Amongin, Michelle Ariago, Agnes Nakakande, Barbra Nanyanzi
