Raza is in the Middle East at the moment for the Hajj so he may not be back for the series.

Willy likely isn't interested at this point in his career in competing in the lower-end international games so I wonder if he'll play. If both of them are out, it's a pretty safe bet for Welch to slide into the Namibia squad. I'd imagine a Wes/Marumani will safely take the other slot.
Raza is there for Umrah, Hajj is different, that is done only at one particular time of the year based on islamic calender, and this is not that time.

Based on his recent tweet that I've seen, he has already completed Umrah, so I think we can expect him to be back soon.

No. But we can assume anyone who is missing domestics on Friday is in the squad.

I hear Welch is in
Brilliant news if Nick Welch is in!!!!

The Haj and Umrah generate $12 billion per annum for Mecca. Thats an astonishing revenue stream.

Great to see Nick Welch. Didn't knew Muzarabani is injured.

Gutted for Evans, why is he overlooked?

Evans didn't play in the NPL either. He must be injured, or unavailable.

Muzarabani probably injured or we just want to keep him fresh and uninjured for the qualifiers.

No Marumani too - also missed the end of the NPL, must also be injured?

What has Mayavo done to get into the squad? Mumba recall is a bit....err....yeah.

Shumba has done very well in NPL. I'm surprised he hasn't had a recall.

We've a derth of keeping options who can just smash it out of the park. I realised that only while searching for guys who could replace Mayavo. Maru is the only one but then maybe he isn't unavailable? Additionally he has also never kept in international level.

Also would've liked them to try musekiwa over akram but I'm not pissed.
