Although they experienced the Twenty20 international in 2019, the Ugandan team gained membership in the International Cricket Council in 1998. Uganda currently has two stadiums suitable for playing international cricket. , defeating countries like Hong Kong can be called revolutionary achievement. Especially the players who were born in Uganda, as well as players of Indian and Pakistani origin, players who came from countries like India, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, have joined the Ugandan team at present.

This year, in particular, they are developing their first-class cricket pattern and preparing themselves for success in the future. Lawrence Mahatlane, who coached the South African Under-19 team, has been appointed as the head coach of the Ugandan cricket team for three years.

Uganda is a country that has been in a lot of discussion with Sri Lanka politically in the past. Meanwhile, another special thing is that the Ceylon Lions Cricket Club has won first place in their first-class cricket tournament. They participated in six matches and won four of them and the team is led by Ruwan Jayaratne, a Sri Lankan. Accordingly, we can expect to see Sri Lankan names and faces in the Ugandan cricket team in the near future.

உகாண்டா கிரிக்கெட்டில் இலங்கை முகங்கள்!

டி20 கிரிக்கெட் போட்டியால் இன்றைய கிரிக்கெட்டில் போட்டி நாளுக்கு நாள் வளர்ந்து வருகிறது. லீக் கிரிக்கெட் குறித்து சிலர் சில விமர்சனக் கருத்துக்களை தெரிவித்தாலும், பல நாடுகள் டி20 போட்டிகளுடன் சர்வதேச அரங்கில் நுழைந்துள்ளன. இதில் உகாண்டா கிரிக்கெட் அணி தற்போது முன்னோக்கி வருகிறது. அதன்படி, இருபதுக்கு 20 சர்வதேச ஆணையை வென்ற பின்னர், அவர்கள் பங்கேற்ற முப்பத்தாறு போட்டிகளில் இருபத்தி இரண்டு போட்டிகளில் வெற்றி பெற்றுள்ளனர்.

இருபத்து மூன்று போட்டிகளில் 708 ரன்களை குவித்துள்ள சைமன் ஸ்செசாசி இதுவரை உகாண்டா அணியில் அதிக ரன்கள் அடித்தவர் பேட்ஸ்மேன் ஆனார். டிஎம் நக்ரானி முப்பத்து மூன்று போட்டிகளில் நாற்பத்தி ஒன்பது விக்கெட்டுகளை வீழ்த்தியதன் மூலம் அவர்களின் அதிக விக்கெட்டுகளை வீழ்த்தியவர் என்ற சாதனையில் இணைந்துள்ளார். உகாண்டா கிரிக்கெட் அணியின் ரசிகர்கள் இவர்களை கொக்குகள் என்று அழைக்கின்றனர்.

அவர்கள் 2019 இல் சர்வதேச இருபதுக்கு 20 போட்டியை உறுப்பினர் அனுபவித்திருந்தாலும், உகாண்டா அணி 1998 இல் சர்வதேச கிரிக்கெட் கவுன்சிலில் அங்கத்துவம் பெற்றது. உகாண்டாவில் தற்போது சர்வதேச கிரிக்கெட் விளையாடுவதற்கு ஏற்ற இரண்டு மைதானங்கள் உள்ளன. , ஹாங்காங் போன்ற நாடுகளை தோற்கடிப்பதை புரட்சிகரமான சாதனை என்று சொல்லலாம். குறிப்பாக உகாண்டாவில் பிறந்த வீரர்களும், இந்தியா, பாகிஸ்தான் வம்சாவளி வீரர்களும், இந்தியா, பாகிஸ்தான், ஐக்கிய அரபு எமிரேட்ஸ், தென்னாப்பிரிக்கா, ஜிம்பாப்வே போன்ற நாடுகளில் இருந்து வந்த வீரர்களும் தற்போது உகாண்டா அணியில் இணைந்துள்ளனர்.

இந்த ஆண்டு, குறிப்பாக, அவர்கள் தங்கள் முதல் தர கிரிக்கெட் முறையை வளர்த்து, எதிர்காலத்தில் வெற்றிபெற தங்களை தயார்படுத்தி வருகின்றனர். தென்னாபிரிக்காவின் 19 வயதுக்குட்பட்டோருக்கான அணிக்கு பயிற்சியாளராக இருந்த லாரன்ஸ் மஹத்லேன், உகாண்டா கிரிக்கெட் அணியின் தலைமைப் பயிற்சியாளராக மூன்று வருடங்களுக்கு நியமிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளார்.

உகண்டா கடந்த காலங்களில் அரசியல் ரீதியாக இலங்கையுடன் நிறைய கலந்துரையாடல்களை நடத்திய நாடு. இதேவேளை, சிலோன் லயன்ஸ் கிரிக்கெட் கழகம் தமது முதல்தர போட்டியில் உகாண்டாவில் முதலிடத்தைப் பெற்றுள்ளமை மற்றுமொரு விசேட அம்சமாகும். அவர்கள் ஆறு போட்டிகளில் கலந்து கொண்டு அதில் நான்கில் வெற்றி பெற்றதுடன், இலங்கையைச் சேர்ந்த ருவான் ஜெயரத்ன தலைமையில் அணி உள்ளது. அதன்படி, உகாண்டா கிரிக்கெட் அணியில் இலங்கையின் பெயர்கள் மற்றும் முகங்கள் எதிர்வரும் காலங்களில் இடம்பெறும் என எதிர்பார்க்கலாம்.

Nuwan Thushara Set to Miss IPL 2026 After SLC NOC Refusal

Published

on

By

Nuwan Thushara is set to miss the upcoming IPL 2026 season in a significant setback for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), after Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) declined to issue him a No Objection Certificate (NOC).

The decision comes following SLC’s latest policy requiring all centrally contracted players to meet strict fitness standards before being cleared for overseas franchise leagues. Thushara reportedly failed to reach the required fitness benchmarks, leading to uncertainty over his participation and eventual exclusion.

RCB had secured the services of the Sri Lankan pacer for approximately INR 1.6 crore, viewing him as a valuable addition to their pace attack. However, his absence could now force the franchise to rethink their squad composition ahead of the tournament.

Interestingly, reports indicate that Thushara is not carrying any injury and remains available to bowl. Despite this, concerns over his overall fitness levels falling short of SLC’s criteria have ultimately ruled him out of the competition.

During his stint with RCB, Thushara featured in just one match, largely serving as a backup option. He made a notable impact in that appearance, returning figures of 1 for 26 with an impressive economy rate of 6.50, showcasing his potential when called upon.

Sri Lanka Show Grit Despite 0–1 Defeat to Nepal

Published

Sri Lanka suffered a narrow 0–1 defeat against Nepal in their second outing of the SAFF U-20 Championship 2026, played in Malé, Maldives on Wednesday. Despite the loss, the young Sri Lankan side delivered a spirited performance and remained firmly in contention for a place in the semi-finals.

Coming into the match, Sri Lanka were high on confidence after scripting history in their opening game with a thrilling 3–2 victory over hosts Maldives. That win marked their first Under-20 triumph against Maldives since 2002, ending a 24-year wait and boosting morale within the squad.

Riding on that momentum, Sri Lanka started positively against Nepal, showing intent and discipline across the pitch. However, the decisive moment came in the 21st minute when Subash Bam found the back of the net to give Nepal the lead.

Sri Lanka responded strongly after conceding, pressing forward in search of an equalizer. Their attacking movements created several promising opportunities, but a combination of missed chances and resolute defending by Nepal denied them a breakthrough.

Luck also seemed to evade the Sri Lankan side, as their efforts in the final third failed to yield results.

Defensively, Sri Lanka remained organized and prevented further damage, keeping the contest alive until the final whistle. Their fighting spirit and determination were evident throughout the match, reflecting the team’s growing confidence and cohesion.

Despite the defeat, Sri Lanka still have a strong chance of progressing to the semi-finals. They currently sit second in the group table with three points, just behind Nepal, and will look to bounce back in their remaining fixtures.
