Despite calls for an improved number of Ghana Premier League players in the Black Stars squad to face Mozambique this month, head coach Avram Grant thought only Samuel Tetteh and Richard Ofori merited call-ups.

Both players have been in superb form for their respective clubs in the Ghana top-flight.

Goalkeeper Ofori who plays for All Stars has kept an impressive three clean sheets and conceded just one goal.

He was handed his maiden call up when the Black Stars demolished Mauritius 7-1 last June at the Accra Sports Stadium.

But yet to make his debut for senior team debut.

WAFA SC prodigy Samuel Tetteh leads the top scorers chart with four goals after four rounds of matches.

The youngster replaced captain Asamoah Gyan in the 2-0 win over Comoros Island.

The Black Stars of Ghana will play against Mozambique in a double-header beginning 24 March in Accra and the return leg three days later in Maputo.

The four times champions sit top of Group H with six points after two games.
