Laxman on his part said that he enjoyed speaking to the players. "Enjoyed talking to the boys, and I wish them and Uganda cricket all the success going forward," tweeted the 47-year-old from Hyderabad.



India rode on blistering centuries by opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Raj Bawa as they crushed Uganda at the picturesque Brian Lara stadium in a lop sided affair on Saturday.


Uganda, who were placed in Group B, along with South Africa, India and Ireland, lost all three league games and bowed out of the marquee event.
