Confederation of African FootballKampala : Confederation of African Football (CAF) has disqualified Uganda from the on-going Africa U-20 Cup of Nations qualifiers for using an illegible player.

Darius Mugoye, the Uganda FA acting president, told Xinhua on Friday that CAF ruled in favor of Rwanda which petitioned it regarding what it called Uganda using an over age player.

Last month Uganda eliminated Rwanda from the tournament with a total score of 3-2 and will face Egypt in the next phrase.

The Rwanda FA allege that Uganda fielded four players who were not eligible after the match and CAF found one of them was overage.

Rwanda will now face Egypt in the next round of the qualifiers ahead of the tournament which takes place in Zambia next year.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs.
