“We are going to play Namibia and know they are ranked thirteenth(13th) and Uganda 24th, eleven places apart and from a play point of view, we are excited and ready for the challenge”
“The first time we went to Namibia, they really showed us how big the game was and closed it really well last year. This time round it will be a great sign of respect that they picked their side to full strength against us”
“We have got six(6) players that have never experienced Namibia before hopeful in our quest for the big tournament which is the World Cup we shall have gained enough experience.”
The Castle Lite Series will be played in both the T20 and 50 Over formats, with the T-20’s taking place between 5th and 9th. The 50-Over matches will then follow on 11th and 13th.
