Hi there! Welcome to Episode 253 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. In this episode, we are in conversation with an emerging star from Uganda, Alpesh Ramjani. 2023 was a storming year for Ugandan cricket, which was helped in no small part by Ramjani, who was both stellar with the ball and valuable with the bat. Ramjani was a nightmare for batters with his left-arm orthodox, taking 55 wickets in his 30 outings, the most among men’s players in the format across the year. Ramjani struck every 11 balls for Uganda and with the bat, Ramjani was more than capable, deployed in different positions in the order across the year. His stellar run ensured Uganda’s qualification to the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. In this episode, we uncover his journey, his cricketing career, experiences and everything in between in a candid chat! The Podcast is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify for Podcasters, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and many other platforms and spread the word.
