Background
The Africa T20 Cup has been characterised as "essentially a showcase in cricket development".
Expansion
In 2016, it was suggested that the Africa T20 Cup would be expanded in the future to include other African countries, such as Uganda.[9] For the 2018 edition, the number of teams was increased from 16 to 20, with the addition of the South African teams of Limpopo and Mpumalanga, along with national representation from Ghana and Nigeria.[10][11] However, Ghana declined Cricket South Africa's invite to compete in the tournament, and were replaced by Uganda.[12]
