The Uganda captain has led his country to their first World Cup but he also works part-time as a procurement manager, buying pens, paper and “whatever the company needs”. “The guys looked at him like he was crazy,” says Masaba, who has never even been to a World Cup match as a spectator. They are not the lowest-ranked side in this expanded 20-team World Cup - they are 22nd in the world standings, a place above Canada - but they are the only team appearing at their first major tournament. “Frank loves cricket,” Masaba says. “We want to bring a little bit of our culture to the world stage,” he says.
