The Reggae Boyz are set to officially kick off a renewed charge for CONCACAF dominance under new Coach Heimir Hallgrímssonon on Sunday when they tackle Mexico in the second leg of their Nations League game at the Azteca Stadiium.

Hallgrímsson, who had only been able to work with a mixture of fringe and local players since his arrival late last year due to their availability, has now fielded the strongest possible team for their trip to Mexico.

The likes of Aston Villa winger- Leon Bailey, Spartak Moscow’s Shamar Nicholson, and Philadelphia Union defender- Damion Lowe are notable returnees from the first leg in Jamaica last year.

 The squad also benefits from the addition of Bournemouth forward Jamal Lowe to the team.

The Boyz, who were held to a point following their 0-0 draw in the first leg at the National Stadium, Kingston, will be seeking to maximize in the reverse leg in the Azteca.

A win for Jamaica will see them return to the top of Group A with eight points, one ahead of current leader Mexico-7.

Kick-off time for that game is set for 7:pm
