After being crushed by Netherlands on Friday at the ICC World Cricket Division 2, the Uganda Cricket Cranes have once again been relegated back to Division 3. During their last game at the ICC World Cricket League Division 2 in Windhoek, Namibia, Netherlands won Uganda by seven wickets hence relegating them back to the third division of the ICC World Cricket.
After losing to the armatures of the Western Province in South Africa during the nine-day camp training and preparation games in Cape Town, the Cricket cranes carried on their poor performance into the championship.
Under the charges of head coach Peter Kirsten, Uganda only managed to win one game against Nepal at the championship but lost to the hosts Namibia, our neighbours Kenya, Canada and Netherlands hence could not finish in the required positions to earn a promotion to Division 2. Uganda was required to at least finish in the top four but failed after losing four games out the five played during the campaign.
Uganda have now failed on three attempts to earn a promotion to the Division 2.
