The African Games will be played in Ghana from March 8 to 25.

Zimbabwe is sending the women’s cricket team with hopes of getting a medal as the team is a force to reckon with on the continent.

“We have included Lady Chevrons amongst the eleven sporting disciplines we are sending because they have been doing well on the continent, so we are guaranteed that we will get a medal through them,” said team Zimbabwe chief de mission Eltah Nengomasha who is also Director General at the Sports and  Recreation Commission.

Lady Chevrons in December won the Women’s T20 Africa Qualifiers held in Uganda, grabbing the two available tickets for the Global Qualifiers to be held in Dubai later this year.
