A predominantly locally based squad will suit up for the Reggae Boyz, when they travel to Austria for a pre–World Cup mini-tournament set for August 20-26.

The tournament includes World Cup qualifiers Ghana, Morocco and Cup host Qatar.

The team consist of several standout players from Jamaica Premiere league (JPL) Champions Harbourview including: Goalie; Amal Knight, strikers; Colorado Murray, Trayvone Reid and Nicholas Hamilton. The ‘Stars of the East’ will also have representation in the middle of the park, courtesy of midfielder Shamar Dyer.

Players from fellow JPL finalist Dunbeholden, have also been rewarded for their efforts last season with a call up to the national program. Demario Phillips and Fabian McCarthy will also partner with Dyer in the midfield, while clubmate will Nickoy Christian, earns his call up in defense.

Waterhouse pair of Ricardo Thomas and Ky-mani Campbell, Arnett Garden’s Earl Simmons along with Mount Pleasant FC duo of Tarick Ximinez and Alwayne Harvey also got the call for national defensive duties.

Dethrone champions Cavalier FC will also have players on National via defender Ricardo King and Striker Ronaldo Webster.

Jevani Brown from Exeter City, Santa Clara Boncos’ Damani Osei and veteran Adrian Mariappa of Macarthur FC will join the team.

Former Montego Bay FC striker Jourdain Fletcher of Gokulam Kerala earns a recall to program and will travel along with Oquassa Chong of Esbjerg fb and Greenville triumph’s Venton Evans as the other overseas based players this journey.

With several of the team’s regular starters busy on club duties the trip will be a golden opportunity for fringe players to impress the coaching team as they jostle for place into the regular squad which will be active in upcoming Gold Cup and Nations League fixtures next year.
