Harambee Starlets head coach David Ouma has released the provisional squad for the Turkish Women cup scheduled for March 2 to March 11, 2020.
The call-up largely features players who featured in the CECAFA Championships games in 2019 in which they emerged champions.
Ouma has widened his scouting net to the Chapa Dimba Na Safaricom tournament, calling up Falling Water’s player Jane Njeri who showed immense skill in leading her team to retain the Central regional title in the tournament.
Vihiga Queens forward, Cynthia Shilwatso, will be seeking the defensive mid-fielder position in the final squad together with Thika Queens Cynthia Kaveya. This comes as a change from Shilwatso’s normal call up position as the center mid-fielder.
Thika Queens player, Rachael Muema has once again received a call-up to the squad.
Other countries that will participate in the Turkish Women tournament include Hungary, Venezuela, Hong Kong, Romania, Uzbekistan, Northern Ireland, Turkmenistan, and Chile.
Coach David Ouma (above) is expected to trim the squad to a final list of 21, few days before the team jets out Turkey on Monday, March 2, 2020.
