LUSAKA, June 5 (Xinhua) -- Zambia's top striker Collins Mbesuma, who was just released from English Premiership side Portsmouth, will play for his country in next month's Cosafa Castle Cup four-nation tournament in Namibia.

Zambia's acting coach Ben Bamfuchile was quoted by Monday's Times of Zambia as saying Mbesuma would be included in the team that resumes training camp on June 12.

"Mbesuma is going to be part of us when we resume our weekly camping in Chililabombwe next week," the acting coach said.

Zambia has been drawn against Malawi, Namibia and Seychelles in the Cosafa mini-group series set for Windhoek, Namibia on July 21-22.

Mbesuma used to play for South Africa's Kaizer Chiefs and scored 35 in one season before moving to Portsmouth. However, the 22-year-old made only four substitutes appearance in the team and was finally released last month. Enditem
