Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Phibion Tawina remains the number one coach for senior women softball team amid speculation that he is going to be replaced as the team gears for the World Baseball Softball (WBSC) World Cup Africa qualifiers. The qualifiers will be hosted by Botswana Softball Association (BSA) in February.<\/b><\/p>\n

Tawina who is the current Police IX women\u2019s team coach was leading the senior team when they competed in the past qualifiers. The team finished in the second position after South Africa. As the team was called for trials, many felt the team needed fresh brains in order to stand a chance of making it into the second stage of the qualifiers. However, BSA has stood side by side with Tawina. The BSA has released a notice advertising for the position of team manager.<\/p>\n

BSA spokesperson, Pako Maforaga, told that the final list of the team will be released just before the qualifiers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some players who did not attend the trials despite being invited by their coaches. Keletso Mogale was injured day one of trials, Morongwa Sephekolo was absent with an excuse and Lesego Monare was writing examinations. There is also Lesego Rankwaila who also did not pitch up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Maforaga confirmed that Tawina is still the head coach and the person that they are looking for is the team logistics manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreparations are going well and the technical bench was able to reduce the number of players after cutting some players. The final team will have 16 players,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Maforaga said the idea is to keep them together as long as possible to avoid complacency from players. According to a source, the team stands a good chance of qualifying in Africa, but for them to make it in Europe, they should change a lot of things.<\/p>\n
