CRICKET Castle Lite Series: Cricket Cranes hurt but will bounce back after Namibia tour shortfall
Uganda faced Namibia six times, four matches in the T20i and two in the ODI, but unfortunately lost all of them.
"From my side, I have a good management team that handles my daily affairs, and I am sure they are on top of it (contract situation); for me, it's about coming out here and doing my job."
"Ultimately, I ensure I stay as professional I help the players prepare for the East Africa Cup in Kigali because I still have a running contract," Mahatlane added."
Mahatlane took over the Cricket Cranes head coach role in October 2020, going on to, among others, win the Africa T20 Cup, winning about 80% of the matches he tutored in both the T-20 and 50 over formats.
