Zimbabwe head coach Sunday Chidzambwa has named the Warriors provisional squad ahead of an important Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Congo-Brazzaville.

The core of the squad remains to complete the task of securing a place at the extended AFCON finals in Egypt later this year.

However, veteran midfielder Willard Katsande misses out having played a role in the Warriors’ narrow 1-0 loss in Liberia.

Kudakwashe Mahachi returns and so does Evans Rusike who missed the Liberia clash in November due to injury.
