Harambee Stars coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee on Saturday named a new-look national team squad for the Group G 2021 African Cup of Nations Qualifiers fixtures with no room for Victor Wanyama, Arnold Origi and Johanna Omolo among other foreign-based players.

Only ten foreign-based players led by assistant captain Michael Olunga, Joseph Okumu, Eric Ouma and Anthony Akumu have been included in the 28-man squad that will clash with Egypt on March 25 in Nairobi before flying out to Togo on March 29.
