In a bid to strengthen the development of cricket in Uganda, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) and Cricket Uganda will formally finalise a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) later this month.
As part of the partnership between the two cricket bodies, Uganda will play five 50-over matches and three T20s in Mumbai from May 18-30.
“The MOU establishes a framework for cooperation between Cricket Uganda and one of India’s most established cricket ecosystems, focusing on expanding international playing opportunities, strengthening high-performance structures, developing sustainable player pathways, enhancing technical and coaching expertise and promoting women’s cricket,” a Cricket Uganda press release on Tuesday stated.
“We extend our sincere appreciation to the leadership of ICC Chairman Jay Shah for facilitating this partnership with the Mumbai Cricket Association. We also thank MCA President Ajinkya Naik for his exceptional support and hospitality, including covering the costs of the initial tour accommodation, match expenses and internal logistics, which has significantly reduced the financial burden on Cricket Uganda,” CU chairman Jackson Kavuma said, hailing the partnership.
