“We hoping to beef up the squad, we have already identified the suitable players, what’s left is to approach them, after we sit down as a team,” he said.
Jumbo Queens have joined Khami Queens, Hwange Colliery and ZPC Hwange who are in the Super League and are from the region.
Zina president Leticia Chipandu said they used the play-offs to scout for more players for the national teams.
