Uganda will be competing with teams from Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Rwanda, Seychelles and Eswatini (Swaziland) in the sub-regional qualifiers to stake claim on the single qualification spot into the Regional finals in Rwanda in November 2021.

The selected team for the qualifiers also played couple of practice matches at home against Uganda’s development squad in the T20 format before leaving for Rwanda.
Head coach Laurence Mahatlane has made two (2) changes to the squad that took part in the T20I Tri-series at home, with Frank Nsubuga and Richard Agamire taking the places of Charles Waiswa and Arnold Otwani in the squad.
