The senior national team coach Major David Bright has just announced a 30-man provisional squad to represent Botswana at the 21st COSAFA Senior Challenge to be held in Polokwane from May 27th to June 9th. The coach has gone for a blend of youth and experience to build a base for the team that can be able to compete.
Fakude, as the gaffer is also known, says the team represents the depth he would like to build for the Zebra’s squad going forward. The coach also says he has used the squad to give more mileage to players like Kabelo Seakanye who saw little game time during the season but are important for the 2019 AFCON campaign.
The major has also rewarded players who were outstanding during the season in their clubs and afforded them a chance to break to the main squad that will be on the 2019 Afcon qualifiers.
