France-based striker Tabitha Chawinga has confirmed her availability for the Four- Nation Tournament slated for November 29 to December 2 at Bingu National Stadium (BNS) in Lilongwe.
Tabitha’s manager Kuwala Msolomba said the Scorchers captain would be in the squad for the tournament.
“Yes, she will come,” she said in brief response.
But her sister Temwa Chawinga is doubtful as she is still out with a groin injury.
The United States-based striker also missed the two TotalEnergies Caf Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) qualifiers against Angola last month due to the same injury.

The tournament, which will be played during the forthcoming Fifa women’s international window, will involve hosts Malawi, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
However, Football Association of Malawi (Fam) is yet to confirm the fourth team.
Scorchers coach Lovemore Fazili is expected to name his squad for the tournament this week.
Fazili will likely include France-based midfielder Rose Kabzere and Sweden-based defender-cum midfielder Faith Chimzimu.

Fazili was not readily available for his comment Tuesday.
The Scorchers and Zambia will use the tournament to prepare for the upcoming 2026 TotalEnergies Caf Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) finals scheduled for March 17 to April 3 in Morocco.
Fam Competitions and Communications Director Gomezgani Zakazaka asked for ample time before he could comment on the matter.
Malawi played an unprecedented eight international friendly matches this year. They played two matches each against Zambia, South Africa and Lesotho.
The team also met Morocco and Ghana in Casablanca, Morocco.
The Scorchers qualified for their first ever Wafcon finals following a 2-0 victory over Angola in the second leg match at BNS last month.
Malawi and Angola played out to a goal-less stalemate in the first leg in Luanda, Angola.
