Preview:

Uganda will host Kenya and Nigeria in the T20I Tri-series which gets underway from 9^th September and the finals will be played on 17^th September. Entebbe Cricket Oval will host all 13 matches including the finals. With not enough international exposure in recent times, Kenya are still underdeveloped in modern-day cricket.

The last time they featured in a T20I was back in October 2019 against Papua New Guinea. They have a win-loss record of 15-24 in the T20Is. On the other hand, Nigeria are ranked 36^th in the ICC T20I rankings. They too haven’t featured in any of the T20Is since October 2019. It will be interesting how they approach this series.
