Softball team denied World Cup chance

The team travelled to South Africa for the qualifiers in March and made it to the World Cup group stages to be held in Canada in July.

However, the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) has said the softball team was fully aware that despite qualification, there was no way the side would participate on the world stage. It only emerged on Wednesday when the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) confirmed teams that would participate in the XVIII World Cup that Botswana had been omitted.
