"We want to hand down a successful cricket tournament," Dr. William Ampofo, Chairman of GCA, told Xinhua in a telephone interview.
He relished the immense benefits Ghana would gain from hosting the 6-day competition such as the upgrading of the Ghana's Oval where the competition takes place.

The tourney, under the aegis of the ICC, Africa Cricket Association and the National Sports Council of Ghana, would feature seven African teams including Rwanda, Gambia, Lesotho, Morocco, Mali, Cameroon and Seychelles.
