The duo, after a series of fine performances, coupled with a public outcry, have been included in the Cranes' provisional squad.

Ugandan youngsters Ibrahim Baba Kasule and Frank Ssebufu were yet again at their routine best, as they helped New York Red Bulls 2 trump Columbus Crew II 5-0 in the MLS Next Pro on Monday.

Kasule netted once while Ssebufu had one and assisted another to further assert their might in the United States.

The displays coincided with the Uganda Cranes call-up ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations crunch qualifier against Niger in September.
