ZIMBABWE national women’s netball coach, Ropafadzo Mutsauki is not worried much about who the Gems will be matched against in tonight’s 2023 World Cup draw, but rather making sure his side will get adequate preparation for the global showpiece.
The draw will be held in East London, South Africa. Zimbabwe will be joined by fifteen other qualified teams which are Australia, Barbados, England, Fiji, Jamaica, Malawi, New Zealand, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tonga, Trinidad & Tobago, Uganda and Wales.
“Obviously, we will be happy to only have one giant nation and an African team in our group. I believe what is key is getting adequate preparation and we will do well.
“The just ended Spar Diamond Challenge was exactly what we need ahead of the World Cup,” said Mutsauki.
The Netball World Cup is scheduled to be staged next year at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from July 28 to August 6.
The Netball World Cup is held every four years and next year’s edition will mark the first time the tournament will be held in Africa.
