Zimbabwe Under 23 squad named

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.

Tatenda Mukuruva, Blessing Moyo, Carlos Rusere (Dynamos) Teenage Hadebe, Nqobizitha Masuku, Thomas Chideu, Knox Mutizwa (Highlanders), Marshal Mudehwe (FC Platinum), Lawrence Mhlanga, Raphael Kutinyu (Chicken Inn), Donovan Bernard, Mgcini Sibanda (How Mine), Chris Mverechena, CAPS United, Philana Kawedere (Harare City), Pritchard Mpelele (Hwange), Jimmy Konono (Whawha) Farai Madhananga (Flame Lily) , Gerald Takwara (Tsholotsho), Malvin Gaki (Triangle), Wisdom Mutasa, Walter Musona (FC Platinum) Kuda Mahachi (Mamelodi Sundowns, South Africa) , Marvelous Nakamba (Vitesse, Netherlands), Ronald Pfumbidzai (Hobro IK, Denmark).
