Shujaa, under head coach Innocent Simiyu, will be aiming for an improved performance after a horrific outing at the recent Tokyo Olympic Games.

They will however navigate through the assignment without the services of long serving skipper Andrew Amonde who recently announced his retirement from the national team.

Shujaa finished 12th with 35 points last year in the series and will want an improved show

In this year’s series,  no team will be relegated following the Coronavirus pandemic with Singapore and Cape Town series cancelled.
