The 18 man squad was revealed by Chairman of the PNG Rugby Football League, Sandis Tsaka at a press conference at the National Football Stadium.
Tsaka said the Kumuls will be without captain and Brisbane Broncos player, David Mead who is carrying a rib injury and will be out of action for the next two-three weeks.
“The team was put together by the selectors chaired by the coach himself. It’s the best team available.
“The selectors picked the team in anticipation of injuries and suspensions,” said Tsaka.
