Three senior women’s national team players Flavia Laker, Carol Namugenyi and Scovia Akello left this weekend for a six-day trip to Benoni Cricket Academy in Johannesburg, South Africa.
These three women main aim is to have more lessons with coaches down south to improve their skills on and off the oval.
The academy centre improves on the players’ game plan and mental preparation before and during the match this also leads to the aspect of batting, bowling and fielding.
“I am delighted to make the trip,” said Laker.
Alongside Carol Namugenyi Charity Trust Fund skipper and teammate Scovia Akello was selected after a review using statistics of their recent performances last year carried out by continental body Africa Cricket Association (ACA).
“South Africa has a lot to offer especially in cricket and we hope to make use of the time there,” Akello said.
The academy runs from February 8-14. The notion, supported by the International Cricket Council is running for a third year in succession.
