The Uganda national women's cricket team - Victoria Pearls is set to re-group as they prepare for the 2022 Kenya Women's Tri-series from 12th to 22nd December 2022.

The ladies last participated in the 2022 Kwibuka in mid-June, where they finished third losing to Kenya and Tanzania before winning the third-place playoff by 8 wickets against hosts Rwanda.
