Nigeria Cricket Federation Launches Quadrangular T20 Tournament

Nigeria will compete against Ghana in the inaugural match of the Nigeria Cricket Federation’s Quadrangular T20 tournament on September 21 at 10 am, held at the Tafawa Balewa Square Cricket Oval in Lagos. This tournament was announced by the Nigeria Cricket Federation on September 16 as part of efforts to enhance the country's cricket calendar.

The tournament will include three countries and four teams, with Nigeria fielding two sides. Following the Nigeria vs.

Ghana match, Nigeria A will play against Sierra Leone in the afternoon. Historically, Nigeria has won all five encounters against Ghana since 2019, with three matches played in Lagos and two in Kampala and Rwanda.

The Yellow Greens aim to use this series to prepare for the upcoming 2028 T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional C Qualifier, scheduled for October 18 to 25 in Abuja. The team is currently training under new high-performance manager Stephen Mangongo, who took over in May after signing a three-year contract, replacing Steve Tikolo.
