Head Coach of the Team, Kodam Kofi Anefie Spoke to TalksenseSports about the selection and believes they have what it takes to get to the top.

“It wasn’t difficult making the final selection. If we have the opportunity to see others for these number of weeks before selecting, it makes the selection process easier and we get more prospects for the future. We have faith in all we have selected and for the rest of the time ahead, we’ll build up strategies towards the teams we’ll be facing. We are capable of causing upset at Kenya because this is a squad with young and experienced players.”

Paired in Group A, Ghana will come up against West African neighbors Nigeria, play Malawi and engage Uganda in a battle for the first 2 spots for semifinals. Host Kenya will be playing Cameroon, Botswana, and Mozambique in Group B.

Ghana got to this stage after winning the ACA T20 Northwest Africa Qualifiers in April 2018, qualifying alongside host Nigeria, who were runners up.
