These local players will be selected based on meritocracy, such that, the aftermath will not generate further controversies. 

Those under consideration will be players who have exceedingly impressed in the league and can take the center stage in Black Stars.

Talented players such as Gladson Awako, Diawisie Taylor, Kwame Opoku, Ibrahim Salifu, 

Razak Abalora and Justice Blay.

They may come from Europe or any other part of the globe. Their invitation, does not guarantee a start in the game. 

Nonetheless, old faces will also be available to make an input into the game. The skipper and his brother, deputy skipper, barring any injury are some of the players to earn an invite.
