After spending seven years as Vice Captain, Janet Mbabazi was named as the Victoria Pearls Captain for the upcoming T20 Global Qualifiers in Abu Dhabi from April 19th – 2nd May.
Mbabazi replaced Consy Aweko who has led the team to the different tournaments over the years.
Away from the Captain role, Rita Musamali also moved a step higher as she was elevated to the new Vice Captain role.
Into the final 15 of the T20 Global Qualifiers we are set to see only one change with Proscovia Alako making a return in place of Soroti Cricket Academy’s Immaculate Nandera.
