In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Uganda women and another international side after 1 July 2018 will be a full WT20I.[4] In July 2018, Uganda played its first WT20I match against Scotland in 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier in Netherlands. In June 2019, Uganda women scored 314 runs against Mali women in the Kwibuka Women's T20 Tournament, the highest total for any team, male or female, in a T20 international match.[5]
In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.[6] Uganda were named in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier regional group, alongside ten other teams.[7]
