The Cecafa defending champions fired blanks in their opening match against Burundi where they were held to a barren draw at Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega.

The result forced coach Moss Basena to make a single change in the goal-shy Cranes squad as he looks forward for a maiden win in the tournament.

Cranes are third in Group B that is been controlled by Burundi, followed by Ethiopia even as South Sudan continues to search for a first win in the regional tourney having lost to Ethiopia 3-0 in the opener.

Uganda Starting squad: Benjamin Ochan (GK), Nicholas Wadada, Isaac Muleme, Timothy Awany, Bernard Muwanga (Captain),  Ibrahim Saddam Juma, Allan Kyambadde, Derrick Nsibambi, Muzamiru Mutyaba, Milton Karisa and Kawesa Hood.
