Uganda junior cricket side left for Rwanda on Sunday for the Quadrangular Youth Series due September 23-24 in Kigali.
The invitational Series are played by two youthful Rwandan teams, Uganda junior team and Nyakasura School from Uganda.
The team that was officially flagged off by the National Council of Sports (NCS) Assistant General Secretary in charge of technical David Katende was selected from the 2019 edition of the school’s cricket week.
