Who has Ghana boss Otto Addo picked for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar?
Ghana will want to make the most of the 2022 World Cup after missing out on the 2018 edition.
New boss Otto Addo took charge during the country's final push for qualification and got the team over the line as they held Nigeria to a 1-1 draw in the final round to clinch their ticket for Qatar based on away goals.
A quarter-final appearance in 2010 remains Ghana's best finish at a World Cup, with the Black Stars losing to Uruguay that year in dramatic fashion following a penalty shoot-out.
They meet Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea in Group G this time around and will feel they have a realistic shot at a spot in the knockout stages.
Which 26 players would you pick from the candidates below to be included in the final 26-man squad set to play in Qatar?
