Yusuf thanked the Fiji Immigration Department for their quick service as Prasad is now eligible to play for the country.
“He’s training very hard and will be part of the squad that we’ll play New Caledonia. I’d like to thank the government and the Director for Immigration for their quick service which is now making him eligible to play for Fiji where his heart lies.”
