Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Aljosa Asanovic has unveiled his 23-member provisional Chipolopolo team of home based players. The highlight of the home-based team announcement is the addition of 2021\/2022 FAZ Super League champions Red Arrows\u2019 veteran striker James Chamanga as part of Asanovic\u2019s backroom staff.<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old 2012 AFCON winner joins the bench as team mentor. There is also a recall for forgotten prospect Jimmy Mukeya of promoted Napsa Stars. Meanwhile, Asanovic said the camp was not only to pick his home-based call-ups for June\u2019s 2023 AFCON Group H qualifier matches against Cote d\u2019Ivoire and Comoros.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur preparations are on course for the game against Ivory Coast on June 3. We start with the local camp where we are looking at the local players and in touch with foreign players whose leagues are still active,\u201d Asanovic told FAZ Media.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that local players also have a clogged calendar ahead with the CHAN and Cosafa that are coming up. Most importantly, the best of the local players will go with us to Ivory Coast and be part of the June 7 home match against Comoros Islands.\u201d Chipolopolo kickoff camp on May 17 in Lusaka.<\/p>\n
