Uganda Cricket Gets Praise from BCCI After qualifying for T20 World Cup 2024.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has congratulated the Uganda Cricket Association (UCA) for their historic achievement of qualifying for the T20 World Cup for the first time ever.
The UCA secured their place in the 2024 T20 World Cup after defeating Rwanda by nine wickets in the penultimate match of the Africa region qualifiers.
“The BCCI congratulates the Uganda Cricket Association and the Ugandan men’s cricket team on their historic qualification for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement.
“This is a momentous occasion for Ugandan cricket and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the players, coaches, and administrators involved. We wish the Ugandan team all the best in their preparation for the T20 World Cup.”
The UCA has expressed their gratitude to the BCCI for their support.
“We are very grateful to the BCCI for their congratulatory message,” UCA chief executive officer Ramny Ramaraju said.
“We have always admired the BCCI for their support of cricket development around the world and we are honored to have their recognition of our achievement.”
The UCA is now looking forward to the 2024 T20 World Cup, which will be held in the United States and the West Indies.

“We are excited to be a part of the T20 World Cup and we are confident that we can make a mark on the tournament,” Ramaraju said.
“We have a talented group of players and we are determined to do our country proud.”
The UCA’s qualification for the T20 World Cup is a major boost for Ugandan cricket. The country has never qualified for a major ICC event before and this is a sign of the progress that Ugandan cricket has made in recent years.
The UCA is now hoping to use this success to inspire a new generation of Ugandan cricketers.
“We hope that our qualification for the T20 World Cup will inspire more young people to take up cricket in Uganda,” Ramaraju said.
“We have a bright future ahead of us and we are committed to making Ugandan cricket a force to be reckoned with on the world stage.”
