The team, she said will be completed as soon as possible and further news about the new team will be revealed when the team is completed.
Following the final match of the season, all the import players have returned back to their home country while the local players were released.
When asked about the new team's players and coaching staff, Nadzaty declined to comment.

Bandar Seri Begawan - It will not be an all-Filipinos final for the Brunei Open Basketball Championship this coming Saturday night as the all-Chinese team of Plaza Sutra Biru stunned last year's Sultan Cup winner Babe's Boutique 94-88 in the semifinal at the Batu Bersurat Basketball Court last night.
Despite missing three key players, Plaza Sutra Biru with the likes of Edmond Tan, Lim Aik Hock and Fong Yep Leong crushed Babe's Boutique in an almost blow out game.
Captain Edmond Tan of Plaza Sutra Biru has an impressive night scoring 33 points while his team mate Fong Yep Leong contributed 16 points to book a spot in the final.
Edmond who also plays for Barracudas said after the game: 'It was an all-team effort tonight. I am proud of my players.' 'We were short of three key players but still managed to come up with the crucial win. We played really well and dominated the defence rebound. Our passing were brilliant and that contributed to the easy lay up from fast breaks,' he added
On the final against Ilonggo Stingers, he said: 'It will be a tough game because they have very tall players but we will definitely do our best to win.' 'I hope my key players will be back for the final as I may not be able to play due to work commitment,' Edmond added.
Meanwhile, coach Albert Cenabm of-Babe's blamed some of the bad calls for the defeat. However he also mentioned that his players' defence was slacking in the game. Plaza Sutra Biru took charge of the match as early as the first quarter with a high tempo game.
Fong Yep Leong was on fire scoring his 11 points of the night to take the lead for his team. By the end of the first quarter, Plaza Sutra Biru were leading in double digit score of 24-14.
The momentum of the game in the second quarter continued to favour Plaza Sutra Biru as they managed to hold on to the 10 points lead to go into the break. The all-Chinese teams were leading 48-38.
Coming off the break, Edmond then took over the game. He scored 14 of his 33 points of the night in the third quarter to help his team extend to a lead of 78-59 by the end of the third quarter.
However, in the fourth quarter Babe's Boutique mounted a comeback through the versatile player D. Mordeno who hit 19 points to bring his team back to life. However, his efforts wasn't enough to take the win from Plaza Sutra Biru as Edmond and company managed to hold off the late charge to win a spot into the final.
Meanwhile, R&T Team A booked a place into the final of the Veteran category by beating R&T Team B 80-75 last night. R&T Team A will face SGC Palm Garden in the final on Saturday night. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
