Bowlers from Chegutu, Chinhoyi, Gweru, Kwekwe, Bulawayo and Harare will all feature in the tournament.
The event will have six men’s team and six women’s teams competing in the Singles, Fours, Trips and Pairs.
Bowls women’s national team skip, Kerry Craven, said they were ready and looking forward to the tournament.
“We have been training hard and we are hoping for a positive result, it will be competitive but we are going for it and am sure we will do well.
“It is good to have all these tournaments with the Africa States coming next month to keep us on the greens,” said Craven.
