Speaking during a press conference held at the Don Bosco in Dar es Salaam, coaches Bahati Mgunda (men's team) and Evarist Mapunda (women's team) said the selection strictly observed talent, discipline, commitment as well as winning mentality.
Mgunda said his provisional team that had 32 players started training some two weeks ago, in which he trimmed his squad to remain with 18 players by Sunday. He said three more players will be chopped from the Tanzanite kings list on Wednesday to remain with only 15 players, whose names will be sent to FIBA for registration ahead of the tournament, which will start on January 21, this year.
