ZIMBABWE: Inter-provincial basketball tourney teams named
THE Harare Basketball Association yesterday named the four provincial sides to take part at the annual inter-provincial tournament.
Although the inter-provincial tournament has been scheduled for Midlands, the Basketball Union of Zimbabwe is yet to meet over the specific venue of the tournament.
Two men’s and women’s side will be fielded from each of the provinces as each province is expected to field senior sides in the men and women categories and also in the Under-22 sides.
The Harare sides are expected to start training for the competition tomorrow and the men will be having their practice sessions at the University of Zimbabwe courts while the women will go through their paces at the Richwood Park Sports Centre.
All hopes are that the women’s side would not be in a situation they were in last year as they were not coming for the practice sessions sighting differences over the selection process.
HBA administrator Simon Lawson said that all is in place for the team selection.
"We have named all the players who we see as both good and fit enough to represent the province at the annual tournament.
"All is in place for the practice sessions and we are also asking all the clubs who have the selected players to please relieve them of their duties for the mean time by Friday (tomorrow).
"All trials are on Friday January 20 at 1800hrs at these two venues and we are also expecting each of the clubs to bring a ball," said Lawson.
