Cricket Cranes join four other Ugandan senior national teams to qualify for a World Cup in history

The biggest is the absence of all-rounder Phionah Kulume. Gloria Obukor has also missed out on the team.
However, the sensational teenage pair of Lorna Anyait and Malisa Ariokot, who debuted for the national team in June at the Kwibuka in Rwanda, have made the cut.
Having missed the Kibuka, the duo of Esther Iloku and Sarah Akiteng have made a return.
Meanwhile, the Lawrence Ssematimba-coached team will be captained by Consy Aweko.
