Cricket Fiji is on its quest to field a strong national team for the East Asia Pacific qualifiers in Japan in August.

The association held a two team cricket trial which helped them pick 30 best cricketers to be part of the extended squad.

Senior Selector, Meli Saubulinayau says they’ve managed to rake in fresh talents in past competitions.

Saubulinayau says those selected must remain fit to become a great bowler and batsman.

He says Papua New Guinea is the best team in the Pacific and there is no excuse for Fiji to reach that spot.

“We want to bring Fiji back to the level that we were in the past if we can go further than that the better it will be for Fiji”
