The tactician is just weeks away from taking charge of his first game for Botswana as their official head coach, with his side scheduled to play two World Cup qualifiers against Algeria and Somalia.
First, Botswana will host Algeria on 17 March before travelling to face Somalia on the 24th of next month.
However, Algeria are reportedly concerned about how their game against Botswana is scheduled.
According to Arabic news outlet WinWin.com, Algeria are unhappy with the fact that their away match against Ramoreboli's side is said to have been scheduled to be played in the afternoon at 3pm local time.
There has been no official confirmation of the actual time of kickoff.
The North African giants are concerned about the weather conditions during the day, as they believe this could make the game more complicated due to the humidity and temperature.
Furthermore, the fixture coincides with the month of Ramadan, making things even trickier for the Algerian players.
Meanwhile, Ramoreboli named a 49-man provisional squad ahead of the game, which includes Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, who recently left Kaizer Chiefs to join Al Ittihad in Libya.
