Brian Masaba will captain Uganda in the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies, their first appearance in a senior men’s ICC World Cup in any format.
Masaba leads a squad of 15 that includes 43-year-old Frank Nsubuga, an offspinning allrounder who is set to be the oldest player in the tournament ahead of Oman’s Mohammad Nadeem and Naseem Khushi, both of whom are 41.
Riazat Ali Shah has been named vice-captain of Uganda’s squad, while Ronald Lutaaya and Innocent Mwebaze are the two travelling reserve players.
Uganda and Namibia were the two teams to make it to the 2024 T20 World Cup from the Africa leg of the qualifiers, ahead of teams like Zimbabwe.
