Young Warriors coach Callisto Pasuwa has stuck with the bulk of the side that qualified for the African Games, adding just three foreign-based professionals in the squad that will face South Africa in an African Under-23 Championships final qualifier at Rufaro next weekend.
Zimbabwe and South Africa square off in the first leg of the final qualifier for the African Championships which will later take place in Dakar, Senegal in December.
The eight-nation championships in Senegal will then determine who will represent Africa at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil.
