It will be a four-country contest between the hosts, Uganda Tanzania and Kenya.

After a round-robin format competition, in which each team will face the three remaining opponents twice, the best two teams will progress to the second round set for later this year.

Uganda Cranes Cricket were the first team to arrive in the country on Thursday afternoon, at 3pm, followed by their Kenyan counterparts one hour after. The Tanzania were expected to land at Kigali International Airport later in the day.
