Former Asante Kotoko defender Joseph Hendricks has added his voice to calls that Local players should be given the same opportunity as the foreign players in the Black Stars team.
In the last two years, there has been an average percentage of 20% home based players selected into the national team.
This for Hendricks who was invited into the national team in 2003 by Coach Ralf Zumdick says the trend must change.
“Grant has refused to give local players the chance, I think he has not been fair. I remember he said he will invite any Ghanaian player who scores 10 or more goals for his Club anywhere, so what happened to Latif Blessing who won the goalking with 17 goals,” the former Kotoko captain told Peace FM.
“There are many talent and wonderful players in the League but Grant has just refused to give them the opportunity.
“Even if you are called as a local player, you wouldn’t make the first 18 and that is bad. That has been his philosophy ever since he came.
“Even Israel where he comes from, you will agree with me that the National team is solely made up of local-based players, all the players in the Israeli National team play for locally-based Clubs.
