2017 ICC World Cricket League Division Three was a cricket tournament that took place in Uganda between 23 and 30 May 2017.[1] The matches took place in Lugogo, Kyambogo and Entebbe.[2] The top two teams, Oman and Canada, were promoted to Division Two.[3] The final ended as a no result due to rain, and therefore Oman won the tournament by virtue of finishing top of the group stage table.[4]
Three countries bid to host the tournament – Canada, Malaysia, and Uganda.[5] In October 2016, the International Cricket Council (ICC) approved a proposal for the tournament to be held in Uganda, subject to security arrangements and costs.[6] Two ICC officials toured the country in December 2016, meeting with the country's First Lady, Janet Museveni, and Prime Minister, Ruhakana Rugunda. Museveni pledged government support for the tournament.[5]
The following teams qualified:
The following three venues were used for the tournament:
