Warriors‘ coach Callisto Pasuwa will today give an indication of the players he wants for the 2017 Nations Cup finals showcase in Gabon when he announces his squad for two high-profile friendly internationals against Zambia and Tanzania.
ZIFA president Philip Chiyangwa has secured a friendly international against Chipolopolo on Saturday at the National Sports Stadium and another battle against Tanzania, at the same venue, a week later. The coach will use the two matches to assess all the players he may be considering for Gabon.
Highly-rated players like Burnley right-back Tendai Darikwa have expressed willingness to be part of the AFCON team and Pasuwa might use the two matches to have a closer look at some of the players who missed out on the qual- ifiers.
Last week Warriors team manager Sharif Mussa said Darikwa, despite turning down earlier national team call-ups, has reached out to them and indicated he is ready to play for his country at the tournament.
