Former Hearts of Oak sensation, Torric Jibril has been named in Ghana's squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against South Africa and Sao Tome.
The 25-year-old who is making waves in the Congo with African giants TP Mazembe has been included a 23-man squad for two qualifying matches against South Africa and São Tomé and Príncipe.
Debut call-ups have been handed to goalkeeper Razak Abalora, Spain-based duo Iddrisu Baba and Mohammed Salisu, German-based Christopher Antwi Adjei as well as AshantiGold skipper Shafiu Mumuni, who won golden boot at the WAFU Cup of Nations.
Ghana will host Bafana Bafana of South Africa at home on Thursday 14th November 2019 at the Cape Coast Stadium, before traveling to São Tomé and Príncipe to face them on Monday 18th November.
The Black Stars are expected to begin training in Cape Coast from Monday 11 November 2019 with the team expected to hold one training session a day.
However, Asamoah Gyan, John Boye, Christian Atsu and Kwadwo Asamoah have all been dropped from the 23 man squad.
