PETROS MHARI’S maiden Warriors call has excited the FC Platinum goalkeeper as he now looks to make his international debut in the international friendly match against Zambia at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The goalkeeper yesterday said he will not speak about the past, including the decision by the former Warriors coach Callisto Pasuwa to leave him out of the 2017 AFCON finals campaign.
That decision triggered a huge outcry in the country.
But Mhari says that is the past and he is only looking into the future.
“It is my first time to be in the Warriors camp. I do not want to say anything regarding AFCON because I hate drawing attention.
“I am just excited because it is everyone’s wish to represent the country,” he said.
The ‘keeper will compete for a first team place with high-flying CAPS United goalkeeper Edmore Sibanda and Highlanders gloves-man Ariel Sibanda in the makeshift squad.
And the former Hwange goalminder said he is ready for competition.
“I am here to represent my country and I am looking forward to working with other goalkeepers.
“Whoever will be selected must do the job and we will be 100 percent behind him.
“It is my first call-up and I hope I will learn one or two things from the other goalkeepers,” said Mhari.
