The senior men and women teams are scheduled to take part in the Central-South Africa tournament.

The Under-21s have the Junior Hockey World Cup qualifiers coming up.

“We have no events planned for the remainder of 2020, due to the implications and effects, which Covid-19 has had to date.

“Africa Hockey have also rescheduled all events to next year.

“Main focus is on our national ladies and men’s squads, as well as our Under-21 squads.

“Harare Hockey Board will also not be resuming their league this year,” said HAZ secretary-general Sarah Bennett.

The Under-21 men and women team coaches, Fidelis Majuba and Tendayi Maredza have been desperate to get group training underway.
