“The thing was in as much as we are very excited to participate in the Olympic games, let’s say the Covid-19 plague ends this month we are still not ready, we ade still not ready to play because we are not in basketball mood immediatley after the news of the virus broke.

”We can’t just come back and start practicing immediately we have to start from square one and start practicing,” she said.
