Recently-appointed Malawi national team interim coach Kalisto Pasuwa has selected his first squad to play in the upcoming 2025 Afcon Qualifiers.

Pasuwa was appointed as the Flames’ new boss last week following the sacking of Patrick Mabedi.

The Zimbabwean gaffer, who is attached at Nyasa Big Bullets, will be in charge on an interim basis, starting with the games against Burundi and Burkina Faso in the 2025 Afcon Qualifiers Group L.

Malawi are already eliminated from the qualifiers, and they will just be playing to fulfill the fixtures.

Pasuwa’s 25-man squad is mainly composed of locally-based players.
