The Fiji National Rugby League has named its 20-member Fiji Bati squad for the upcoming Pacific Championships, with powerhouse forward Tui Kamikamica set to lead the side once again.

Kamikamica, who plies his trade with the Melbourne Storm in the NRL, will captain a squad that blends experience with emerging local and overseas-based talent.

Sunia Turuva, one of the standout performers from the Penrith Panthers, has been named vice-captain.
