The Tanzania Cricket Association (TCA) expects to unveil a line-up of players who will be traveling to the United Kingdom for eight-match friendlies against selected teams.
The Dar es Salaam cricketers are on their way to UK with an objective of sharpening their skills ahead of this year's edition of ICC World Cricket League for Division four.
The event would be held from October 4 to 11 in Dar es Salaam.
The TCA chairman, Zulfikar Rhemtula, said he was reviewing the performance of individual players so as to guide him in final squad selection.
Only 14 players will be eligible to board the London bound flight out of 30 who are currently training.
Rhemtula, who doubles as the team's coach, said the final squad would be limited to 14 players because of poor resources.
He therefore called on institutions and individuals to assist the entourage.
Teams that are lined up to clash against Dar cricketers during the entourage will be known any time this week, said Rhemtula.
The Dar cricketers who camped for training ahead of the European trip are: Hamisi Abdallah (captain), Khalil Rhemtullah, Athuman Kakonzi, Kassim Nassoro and Rashid Amri.
Others are: Nasib Kelvin, Chilack Shamas, Rishen Patel, Gulbushen Singh, Vishal Patel, Riziki Kiseto, Angel Seth, Seif Khalifa, Abhik Patwa and Aftab Manji.
