Sri Lankan faces in Uganda Cricket!
The competition in today’s cricket is increasing day by day with T20 cricket. Although some people express some critical opinions about league cricket, many other nations have entered the international arena with T20 matches. Among them, the Ugandan cricket team is currently coming forward. Accordingly, after winning the Twenty20 international mandate, they have managed to win twenty-two matches out of the thirty-six matches they participated in.
Simon Ssesazi who has scored seven hundred and eight runs in twenty-three matches has become the most successful batsman in the Ugandan team so far. DM Nakrani has joined the records as their highest wicket-taker with forty-nine wickets in thirty-three matches. The fans of the Ugandan cricket team call them Cranes.

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.

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.

Mohamed Sahi Transfer Dispute Deepens: Two Clubs, Two Contracts – One Confusing Reality
Fresh details reveal dual agreements, silent acceptance, and a looming registration problem ahead of the Champions League
Colombo – June 17, 2025:
The player registration controversy surrounding Mohamed Sahi has intensified, as newly uncovered information confirms the existence of two separate agreements signed by the player — one with New Star SC and another with Crystal Palace FC Gampola, both for the 2025/26 season.
The Timeline of Conflict
- On January 15, 2025, Mohamed Sahi received a release from his former club Eravur YSS, stating that he would be joining Crystal Palace FC.
- This release letter was shared via WhatsApp with Crystal Palace, but the original document was handed over to New Star SC, who then registered the player for the 2025/26 season based on a contract signed on January 16 for LKR 85,000.
- Later in February, Sahi went on to sign another contract — this time with Crystal Palace FC, reportedly for LKR 215,000, including two advance payments: LKR 35,000 and LKR 45,000 to his father’s account.
This sequence raises serious concerns about whether the player fully understood his obligations or whether both clubs failed to clarify the status of the original registration.
Crystal Palace Questions: Silence from New Star
Despite publicly announcing the signing of Mohamed Sahi on social media in February, New Star SC remained silent. No objections were raised until the issue surfaced during I League scrutiny.
This inaction has sparked public questions:
- Why didn’t New Star respond immediately if the player was already under contract with them?
- Was there an oversight, or did they expect the issue to resolve quietly?
I League vs Champions League Impact
While the situation has had no direct impact on the I League, given that New Star SC registered the player first and the I League is an invitational tournament not governed by the FFSL, Sahi only featured under New Star during the competition. However, the matter gains greater significance in the lead-up to the Sri Lanka Champions League, where both New Star SC and Crystal Palace FC are reported to have submitted player registrations for Mohamed Sahi, potentially triggering a registration conflict.
This raises the risk of:
- Duplicate entries under the same player ID
- Last-minute disqualifications or disputes
- Administrative confusion for tournament organizers
A Potential Settlement?
In an attempt to ease tensions, sources close to New Star SC have confirmed that Mohamed Sahi is willing to return the advance payment made by Crystal Palace FC to resolve the financial element of the issue amicably.
Final Word
While this incident is unlikely to influence the I League outcome, it exposes a flaw in inter-club communication and registration coordination. With the Champions League approaching, resolving these overlaps is essential to avoid technical complications or eligibility issues.
