I think it's a great move by ICC and ths will promote Cricket to the next step and will encourage youngsters to participate in a Gentlemen's Game.

too bad Afridi's innings will not count against Uganda. But still we'll see how good he is when we se him play against some better opposition.

Yes I want to comment on Uganda Status.Why are the ICC is not giving International status to matches played by Uganda.

Good to know this is official competition. I am very grateful to cricinfo for providing scorecards and bulletin of each of the matches. We Kenyans cannot expect much from local press here. For example today Bangladesh is playing Uganda and hosts Kenya are playing Pakistan. There is NOT a word written about today's matches in today's edition of two leading daily newspapers in Kenya. How can Kenya cricket develop without publicity, encouragement to the team and information to local fans?

Uganda Played well against Kenya. Hope to see another African team in the limelight.

its been great to know that the tournament in Kenya has got official status by the ICC. Not only for Pakistan and Bangladesh (both has permanent membership) but special for the development of cricket in Kenya, its essential to have such events over there.

They should have more games involving the African nations to make them more competitive and to improve the standard of their games, also encourage the better teams to play them

why arent the uganda games given the equivalent of list-a or first class status?

I think it is very good decision by ICC.They should also encourge Uganda.

This piece may be out of context but would be grateful if published. This is the only forum available to Kenyan fans to comment or break the news. Nobody in Kenya, except those few present at the venue, are aware that every man-of-the-match awards won by Pakistanis and Bangladeshis were passed over to Uganda for their outstanding performances. This included man-of-the-serier dollars 1500 won by a Pakitan player, was passed over to Uganda. What gestures? Well done. Watching final game Pakitan-Kenya, I took it as a comedy show and enjoyed it. I have never seen Younis Khan bowling, but he came on earlier and took three wickets. Kenya's two leading players - Thomas Odoyo did not bowl and Steve Tikolo did not play. Both have injuries. Then, why the hell they should go to South Africa for 20-20?

well i think that's a very good move by ICC to approve the 20/20 matches between Pakistan, Bangladesh and Kenya as internationals but i also think it should give this status to the full tournament including Uganda as well

I have a big worry of the performance of Kenya.At times, it was a dream for Bangladesh to beat Kenya.Now things are quite adverse.What actually happened to Kenya???

For Cricket Globalization , ICC need many more team to approve only International Twenty20 Status. Like-- Uganda, ireland, Holand, Canada, Malysia, Namibia, UAE, Hongkong, Nepal, Scotland as early as possible
