The women’s national basketball team (Gazelles) provisional squad to prepare for the Afrobasket qualifiers has been named.
The team named by Nick Natuhereza and his assistant Ali Mavita has many fresh faces in what looks like a rebuilding process that include JKL’s Jamillah Nansikombi, UCU’s trio of Zainah Lokwameri, Ritah Imanishimwe and Sarah Ageno.
A1 Challenge’s Dorothy Kyamazima and Stellah Nanfuka also make the team that also has Stacey Lubowa.
The new faces are joined by usual suspects Falvia Oketcho, Moreen Amoding, Judith Nansobya, Sylvia Nakazibwe, Angella Namirimu and KCCA bigs Martha Soigi and Muhayimina Namuwaya.
The qualifiers tournament is slated for March 12-18 in Cairo, Egypt.
