Basketball Union of Zimbabwe director of competition, Simon Lawson, said they were hoping that all the eight active provinces will take part in this year's edition.

"Each province will bring in a provincial select team. We have eight associations that we know have structures while for Matabeleland South and Mashonaland West are still work in progress.
