Nyasa Bullets hit-man Chiukepo Msowoya has been dropped in the 29 man Flames squad ahead of a friendly match against China at the Bingu Stadium in Lilongwe on 28th January.
The all local players squad, is marred with surprises with a number of players earning their first call up at the expense of veterans.
Gerald Phiri Senior who will be in charge of the side in this fixture, has cast his net wider in selection of the flag carriers.
The 2016 Super League season top goal scorer Richard Mbulu who plays for military side, MAFCO FC, has been selected along side 6 other forwards.
By virtue of being among the most feared forwards in the Super League, the probability of being considered a place in Gerald Phiri’s team was extremely high.
Msowoya who despite banging a good number of goals for the Blantyre giants, his fitness was not delighting enough for him to be among Gerald Phiri’s chosen troops.
However his partner Muhamad Sulumba has been considered a place. Nyasa Bullets starlet Mike Mkwate has also for the first time been selected.
His moves in last season of the Super League made him a player to select for the national team duty. Here is a full list of players who makes the cut ahead of the colourful friendly match.
The boys head into camp this Sunday.

Zachibwana zokhazokha anzanu anadyapo nanunso mudyepo lelo nde zingatheke?
You can see that chiukepo, wadabwa, kamwendo and Gabeya they are not here, they have gone abroad to try their lucky, so why including them in the squad? The problem you post your news when you are on high weed

Its a friendly if it was an important game he would hav been calld first according to my theory experience matters
Kaya mudziwona zikachitika.
Shoo
This does not deserve praise the ministry of sports is dead.All sporting activities zero.Even if Chiukepo is dropped how far will China game against Malawi change the FIFA ranking
The game is there to spice up the openning of national stadium ceremmony hence it does not fall on fifa calender
He failed in Lecnon as0wek as Tazania Back to cck , will he pass in joburg ? tnm is waiting 4 u to penalty
baaaaaaaaaaaad
sanapange boooooooooooooooooooooo
Anatha meneuja man
chiukepo ali ku South Africa
Thats good,Chiukepo has finished the league whilst not in a pleasing form.When it comes to the Nation Team we must aim at”Defeating” without seggregation.Mbulu has also to try his luck since Chiukepo has for a long time been on that position.
Ok
Mesa mbulu akuchoka mawa akupita ku mosambique?
it happens let others also try their luck
Ma purofe nje?
