Asante Twum says many more players equally deserved a place on the list but may not have made it due to the limited number required.
“They [Black Stars players] know that anything they do on the field of play, Ghanaians are watching because they are ambassadors.
“When you are selected among the final 26 or 25 players for a competition, it does not make you exceptionally talented over others but because it’s on merit.
“There are other players who ordinarily would have had the opportunity but missed out due to limited places.
“So when allowed to wear the colors of Ghana, you must wholeheartedly play and sacrifice for the nation, and by so doing, the country will honor you,” said Asante Twum on Kumasi-based Akoma FM.
Ghana will clash with the Palancas Negras on Thursday, March 23 at the Baba Yara Stadium before traveling to Angola for the reverse fixture four days later.
The Black Stars are tied on points with Angola with four apiece while Madagascar and Central African Republic have a point each in Group E.
