This is despite the fact that the team lost all its friendly matches it played in Zimbabwe last weekend. The team leaves for Swaziland today. Of the 12-member squad, six were part of the team that travelled to Zimbabwe.

"These are the players we expect to spearhead the team as they have loads of experience," said BBA technical director, Mothusi Thipe. The six who were in Zimbabwe are captain Robert Mosalakatane, Patrick Mokgethi, Churchill Barrows, Thando Mawela, Senatla Kabomo and Emmanuel Tjizoo. Mosalakatane was one of the top scorers in Zimbabwe, netting 16 times against the hosts' senior team and 14 times against the Under-20 side.
