The new captain for the national cricket team, Clinton Rubagumya, has said that he and his side are ready for the test against Ghana as both sides go head to head in a T20 friendly match scheduled on Wednesday, August 18 at Gahanga International Cricket Stadium.
The test opens the T20 bilateral series during which the two nations will square off for a five-fixture test which runs until August 23, as part of preparations for the ICC men’s T20 Cricket World cup sub regional Africa qualifier A slated to take place in Kigali from October 14-23.
Both sides are playing the bilateral series to prepare for the ICC men’s T20 Cricket World cup sub regional Africa qualifier while the pair will also be looking at climbing the ICC T20 ranking table.
Until Ghana’s game, Rwanda had never played a cricket game for over the past one and a half year since the first covid-19 case was reported in the country in March 2020.
