Baby Cricket Cranes captain Pascal Murungi has been named Uganda's standout player at the 2022 ICC U19 Cricket World Cup that took place in the West Indies. Murungi excelled at roles of being a leader on and off the pitch as he inspired Uganda to two wins, the most for any team that has graced the tournament from the Pearl. The team won the last two Plate group matches against PNG and Scotland to complete the World Cup journey in 13th position. Pascal was Uganda's top scorer with the bat, amassing 191 runs at 31.83, including a high score of 63 against Ireland, also taking nine wickets in six matches. "He did justice to his role with his all-round performances and was the standout player for Uganda," wrote ICC media. The top wicket taker was Juma Miyaji who picked 13 wickets at 17.76, including 4/25 against Scotland.
