Kabwe Warriors midfielder and captain Roderick Kabwe says he is delighted to be included in the 23-member Zambia squad travelling to India for a ten-day training camp this month.
The team named by Coach Herve Renard last week, will be in India from November 19-30.
Kabwe said he was proud to be handed a national team call-up again.

National team has simply more than enough midfielders. Traditional #3, 4, 7 & 11 need be found. Ku 7 is Fwayo, he is on fire. Ku 11 kaya. The wings are quite since there is no C.Mulenga or Fwayo.
Renard is kind of a disaster coach mwee, the current national team has only good regulars
Mweene, Nkausu, Joseph, Sunzu, Kalaba, Chansa. the rest need replaced or very replaceable..
Now there is Jacob, more need be found.
Ba Nostradamus mwansekesha, ati Ku 7 Fwayo. Indeed we need a number 11 in the likes of Kalusha. Ama wings eba bapanga bola. Also, we need a free kick specialist. In the Kalusha era, any free kick Zambia won outside the box,, fans used to celebrate even before Kalu took it. Why? Because free kick were considered a goal even before Kalu took it. Thats how good Kalu was at free kicks. We used to call him “Master of dead-ball situations”. Ba Kalaba used to try to score free kicks, nomba ile bashupa ukwingisha ama free kicks.
They is a zambian praying in danmerk and he is verygood .He is 19ys kalusha comer and see the boy.
Not so negative. Interesting points here
