The duo will also use the tournament as part of their preparations for the outdoor 2023 World Bowls Championships. The event is new to World Championship for indoor bowls, with 64 star players from 27 countries across the globe.

Modutlwa leaves on April 18 while Kebapetse follows on April 21. “I and Kebapetse will play in the singles and we would then pair to play mixed doubles. Twenty-seven countries have confirmed participation. Last year, an expression of interest was released to players to say who is interested to participate in this competition. This is a new competition and it was not in our (Botswana Bowling Association) calendar of events as approved by Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC),” Modutlwa told Mmegi Sport.
