Great Olympics head coach, Bismark Kobi-Mensah has said the decision not to include local players in the Black Stars squad for the 2023 Africa Cup Nations [AFCON] qualifiers does not speak well of the brand Ghana Premier League.
Chris Hughton last week announced a 25-man squad for the doubleheader against Angola later this month.
The decision has been criticized by several football enthusiasts in the country.
And according to the Black Galaxies assistant coach, there should be a policy where local players will have a place in the senior national team.
"For now, it does not speak well of our league. There should be a plan and a policy," he told Kumasi-based Pure FM.
"You cannot name Black Stars squad without a local player. It does not speak well of our league. It does not encourage the local players.
"I don't where this is done but the trust is, it is not right and this does not speak well of our brand.
"There should be a policy that if you invite local players, they have to be encouraged. When we went to the CHAN tournament, the team did not do well but we also saw the Black Stars at the World Cup in Qatar.
"Disappointment will always be there but it does not take away the qualities of these players. There should be a policy if not, these players will always want to play outside the country because once you play outside the country, you will be recognized," he added.
Ghana will take on the Palancas Negras at the Baba Yara Stadium on March 23 before travelling to Luanda for the return leg.
