Reclusive winger Danny Hangunyu has received a shock call-up to the provisional Zambia national team named ahead of the sides Cosafa Senior Challenge Cup quarterfinal match against Namibia next month in Zimbabwe.
The ex-Red Arrows left-winger is one of four foreign-based players Herve Renard has added to 30-man provisional Cosafa Senior Challenge Cup team named today.
Others are Rogers Kola from Lamontville Golden Arrows of South Africa, defender of South African league champions SuperSport United and signs Chibambo of Heartlands in Nigeria.
Renard has made a bold move to hand the Angolan-based winger who has spurned junior and later senior call-ups to player at the highest of his career from 2002 to 2004 before heading west.
It will be interesting to see whether Hangunyu has finally shaded his reluctant hero character and will heed to the call four years after leaving the local scene.

Nanomba no one has commented on this one sure ?
We are tiring of commenting because we know that Herve wont take us anywhere.
It is fine that the boys are getting experienced. This is Zambia B. We do not need the professionals for such cups. We need to have choice each time we constitute a national team. No personal to holder positions. Lets give the locals international exposure.
GO HARVE GO.Good exposure to the untried ones.
