The Pacific Island cricket community is mourning the death of the former Fiji captain, Josefa Rika, who died on Monday after suffering an asthma attack.
The 32-year-old spent a decade playing for his country and also had stints coaching national age grade and senior teams, working as a development officer and, most recently, as the national high performance manager.
Cricket Fiji chief executive Alex Konrote told Vinnie Wylie that Rika's family, friends and colleagues are in a state of disbelief.
