The GameCocks, like all other clubs suspended their training activities as the government declared a 21-day national lock to curb the spread of the virus.
Club secretary Tavengwa Hara is optimistic that things could be clearer after the lockdown and yesterday said they would only be releasing their squad for this year when they resume training.
“We are still sorting out one or two things. The mean machine is a secret for now. We will only release (the squad) when we resume training next week,” Hara said.
Chicken Inn signed Ian Nekati, Leeroy Ndlovu, Brian Muza, Nielson Ketala, Shepard Mhlanga, Clive Dzingayi, Lucas Sibanda, Paddington Nyamakura and Bryan Giant.
They parted ways with Simon Munawa, Joe Nyabinde, Innocent Mucheneka, Ben Nyahunzvi and Nyasha Gurende.
Mucheneka settled for Caps United, Munawa joined TelOne in Division One, while Nyabinde and Nyahunzvi crossed over to Bulawayo Chiefs.
