Taifa Stars coach Etienne Ndayiragije has explained why Ditram Nchimbi has been called up to replace captain Mbwana Samatta in the team.
Samatta had been included in the previous 28-man squad, which Ndayiragije had constituted on October 4 in preparations for their international friendly match against Rwanda.
The friendly tie will be played in Kigali on October 14 during the upcoming international break as the Taifa Stars prepare to face Sudan in the African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifier.
