Uganda Netball team goalkeeper Haniisha Muhameed Nakaate will not participate in the team's Test Series against Wales, slated to kickstart on Wednesday in Cardiff.
The She Cranes will entertain the Welsh Feathers at the House of Sports in Cardiff, Wales, but Muhameed won't feature.
It has been revealed that her club, Surrey Storm, which features in the UK Netball Super League, will not release her for the Test Series.
Unfortunately, I will not be taking part in the Wales series but i am confident this group will get the job done.

However, Muhameed will be available for the She Cranes for the Vitality Netball Nations Cup, where they will play powerhouses England, New Zealand and Australia.
It should be noted that after today's game against Wales, the She Cranes will play against the same opponent in two more fixtures on Friday and Saturday.
All three games will come before the bouts against New Zealand, Australia, and the host, England, in the Nations Cup.
Muhameed joined Surrey Storm over three months back and made her debut on Saturday. She was subsequently named the Player of the Match.
Her impressive display came in their 68-37 victory over Team Bath in what was a preseason game.
Muhameed impressed at the 2023 Netball World Cup in South Africa, where she featured as a goalkeeper and a goal shooter for some games.
