Among the foreign-based players called up are Novatus Miroshi, who features for Turkish Super Lig side Goztepe, Cyprian Kachewele of Ukraine’s Kryvbas, and Bernard Kamongo, who plays for FC Dallas in the United States.

The Taifa Stars will head into the fixtures seeking to improve their standing in the qualifying campaign after a disappointing start.

They suffered a 2-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau in their opening match before settling for a 1-1 draw against Madagascar in their second outing.

Gamondi’s men are scheduled to face Nigeria in a matchday-three encounter at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Friday, November 13.

The two nations will renew hostilities four days later when Tanzania host the return fixture in Dar es Salaam.
