Lack Of Funds Hampers Davis Cup Preparations

Briefing the media in Gaborone on Friday, BTA public relations officer, Oshinka Tsiang and Davis Cup team coach, Thato Kgosimore said preparations were hampered by the lack of funds. Tsiang said the team had to cut short their tour of Burundi due to unavailability of funds. The team managed to play one of the four-legged event. He said they wanted to give the team a lot of practice matches ahead of the Davis Cup but funds were insufficient.

"Funds permitting, we would like to send the team to Egypt (for training) but money is a problem. We have to fund-raise to augment the little that we have," Tsiang said.
