World youth best player Dominic Adiyiah has earned his first call-up to the Ghana national team for this month's World Cup qualifier.

Coach Milovan Rajevac also called several players from Ghana's U20 team that won the World Cup in Egypt last month, Ghana FA insider has told Ghanasoccernet.

Goalkeeper Daniel Agyei and central defender Daniel Addo also earn their their maiden call-ups to the Black Stars.

Andre Ayew returns to the national team after more than one year away.

Defender Samuel Inkoom and midfield dynamo Agyemang Badu were also named for the game against Mali on 14 November.

But the duo of Ransford Osei and Jonathan Mensah who were being considered for a place were not called up for the Group Four game.

With defenders John Mensah and midfielder Laryea Kingston yet to recover from injuries, Addo and Badu are likely to get starting places.

Agyei who impressed in Egypt is assured of a place in the team as he is the only other keeper called for the game apart from Ricahrd Kingson.

They will be supported by experienced players Eric Addo, Stephen Appiah, Michael Essien, John Paintsil, Harrison Afful and Sulley Muntari.

Rajevac is using the game to assess the players as he seeks to build his team for the 2010 African Cup of Nations.
