New Gems skipper Felistas Kwangwa has missed out on joining
a UK club.
This is because UK league only allows foreigners from teams
in the top 12 of the world. Zimbabwe is ranked 14th in the world.
“Surrey Storm coach approached me during the World Cup
saying they wanted to sign me, hoping Zimbabwe would break into the top 12 in
the world. Their league only allows foreigners from teams in the top 12,’’
Kwangwa told The Sunday Mail.
She was told the news via text. “Hi Felistus.
Unfortunately, league rules permits imports from countries in the top 12 only.
So, for this season we would not be able to have you join us. We will monitor
you from afar and definitely hope this can happen at some point in the future.”
She still believes it will happen for her. “I believe it
will happen, I think it’s only a matter of time,” she said.
