Head coach John McKee said he opted for a large squad to ensure he had players available who have been playing top level rugby and are physically ready to play in the five test campaign.
"I am very pleased to be able to name a strong squad for our Test Match series across June and July," he said.
"This series of matches provides us with a challenging test series and will allow us to see where we are on the world stage.
"Each opposition will bring special challenges and I am sure with good preparation and hard work this group will come together as a very strong team to represent the country of Fiji with pride."

John McKee said players will need to be consistent and bring the form from their club sides when they march into camp.
"I was fortunate to watch most of our players playing across the various competitions during my recent visits to Europe, New Zealand and Australia and am pleased that the players named are in top form for their various clubs," he said.
"It is very important that all our players show this form when they join the squad and work hard to be their very best in each match for which they are selected."
