Former goalkeeper of the Black Stars, Adam Kwarasey, has cautioned foreign-based players of Ghanaian descent to be clear in their intentions to switch nationality before joining the team.
Quite a number of players have been mentioned as possible additions to Ghana’s squad following the team’s qualification for the World Cup.
Kwarasey, who made the switch to play for Ghana in 2007 says the World Cup should not be the rationale behind some of the player’s decisions to play for the country and asked them to be fully committed to the Black Stars.
“They need to come for the right reason I’ll say. I know they probably want to experience the World Cup but I hope they come because they want to represent Ghana and not because they were not selected by another country,” the FC Oslo Sporting director told JoySports in an interview.
“I think that’s number one – they need to be there because they want to play their hearts out for Ghana. Number two is hard because it’s been a while since I have been around, so I don’t really know how things are done in camp, but adjust quickly and do your best basically.”
In the 2012 Afcon qualifications, Kwarasey made his debut for Ghana against Swaziland. He remained the Black Stars’ starting goalkeeper in the competition, where they placed fourth.
