Phiri said the door was still open for additions to the squad.
Team manager Peter Mponda said Chiyesa has replaced injured Be Forward Wanderers striker Peter Wadabwa.
“As for Ngalande, he was left out as we were not sure of his status.

“As you are aware, Chan is for local players only. We have now established that he is unattached hence eligible to play in the competitions,” he said.

The Flames will face Madagascar away in Antananarivo on April 23 in the first leg while the return leg is slated for April 29 at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe. 
