According to him, the call up is encourage more local based players to work hard and be consistent in their performances for their teams.

“It is important to encourage local players. The last time I checked it was three and now it’s four. They (local based players) have to be consistent with their performances so they can be called into the team”, he said at the meeting.

David Duncan who was tasked with monitoring and selecting players from the local scene as assistant coach of the Black Stars also seconded the view of the Black Stars coach and urged the local based players to ensure consistency in their performances.
