Proscovia further underlined the importance and benefits of participating in the Nations Cup with the global heavyweights.

"Well, there's a lot to gain; this is a young group of Ugandan players. They will gain experience; the exposure is very important for the future of netball in Uganda."

"So, I think the experience matters the most, and I'm excited to see what they'll put on ground."

The She Cranes enter the games off the back of a 2-1 triumph over Wales in the Test Series held last week at the House of Sports in Cardiff.
