Tariq Lamptey of Brighton & Hove Albion and Inaki Williams of Athletic Bilbao have both been selected by Ghana coach Otto Addo for the Black Stars squad for friendlies this month.
In order to get ready for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year, the Black Stars will play Brazil and Nicaragua.
Earlier this year, six players, including Lamptey and Williams, changed their nationality in order to represent the Black Stars internationally.
Mohammed Salisu of Southampton and Stephan Ambrosius, who plays for Team 2, are two more athletes who switched nationalities and made the team. On loan from Hamburger SV is Bundesliga team Karlsruher SC.
Goalkeeper Richard Ofori, who plays for PSL powerhouse Orlando Pirates, and Antoine Semenyo, who is currently in fine form for EFL Championship team Bristol City, are both included in the squad.
Jordan Ayew of Crystal Palace is also a member of the team, as is his brother and captain Andre Ayew, who recently scored his first goal of the campaign for Al Sadd in the Qatar Stars League.
Midfielder Thomas Partey has also been added to the list despite missing Arsenal's last three Premier League games against Fulham, Aston Villa, and Manchester United due to a thigh injury.
The Black Stars' first match is against Brazil on September 23 at Stade Oceane in France, and their second match is against Nicaragua on September 27 at Estadio Francisco Artes Carrasco in Spain.
One of the five African countries competing in Qatar is Ghana, which has been grouped in Group H with Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay. On November 24, they will play their inaugural game at Stadium 974 against Portugal.
After that, on November 28, they will play South Korea at Education City Stadium, and on December 2, they will play Uruguay at Al Wakrah Sports Complex to finish their group games.
