Warriors coach Michael Nees has announced his squad for the international friendlies against Burkina Faso and Niger on June 6 and 10, respectively. The games will be played in Morocco, with the venue to be announced soon.

The gaffer’s selection is dominated by fringe players, with Nees opting to rest regular players such as Andy Rinomhota, Marshall Munetsi, Tivonge Rushesha, and Knowledge Musona.

Veteran shot-stopper Elvis Chipezeze, midfield wizard Bill Antonio, and goal-hungry Tino Kadewere make a thunderous return to the squad, ready to reignite the Warriors’ flame.

Nees has cast his net wide, pulling talent from local PSL stars to Europe-based sensations, with Khama Billiat, Prince Dube, and teenage dynamo Sean Fusire all getting the nod.
