South African coach Benni McCarthy has released a squad to start residential camp on July 10 ahead of the eighth edition of the tournament to be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

Leading the attack are the league’s top scorers, Shumah, Emmanuel Osoro and Ryan Ogam, who have netted 17, 16 and 15 times respectively this season. Sofapaka forward Edward Omondi also earns a well-deserved call up following a standout campaign for his club.
