Uganda's bowler Kyewuta Cosmas has revealed how important bowling in partnerships will be as the Cricket Cranes face off with a host of countries in the ICC World Cup Challenge League B.

In April last year, Kyewuta was part of the squad that travelled to Windhoek for the Tour of Namibia and debuted for the Cricket Cranes and featured in four matches of the three T20s and two 50-Over duels.

He now returns with the side for the home tournament round expecting to contribute as much to the side as they seek ODI status.

“I got a chance to play with some of the senior players. I feared playing at first, but the senior guys always backed me up talking to me on and off the field,” Kyewuta told Daily Monitor.

“Setting the bowling tone for my team, two wickets in the first 10 overs,” he said. But how challenging is it? “To me it’s easy. We just need to bowl in partnerships,” Kyewuta said.

“The person that I am bowling with creates pressure by bowling many dot balls which help me restrict the batters and if I create pressure, he picks wickets too. Partnership and brotherhood is helpful mainly to the bowlers,” he added.

Uganda bowls off the tournament against Jersey in Lugogo on Friday.
