Juma Miyagi has made a good recovery from the back injury that has kept him out since April last year and he is included in the 15 man squad. Alpesh Ramjani and Bilal Hassun also make the final travelling squad. Fred Achellema, Ronald Lutaaya and Innocent Mwebaze keep their places in the team after putting in solid performances in India.

“The plan is to give the boys more game time against tougher opposition and also to fine tune them in terms of skills development and maintenance ahead of the next phase of our preparations which happen to be T20is. It is also important that we start finding the right combinations by batting and bowling certain players in different situations to test their progress . Sri-Lanka just like India gives the batsmen the opportunity to face more fast and swing bowlers considering that we are gonna face more quicker pacers than we have been facing. - Jackson Ogwang Cricket Cranes Interim Head Coach”
