Sylvester Tees­dale of Dig­i­cel T&T Pro League's T&TEC is the lone un­capped play­er named in a 20-man squad an­nounced by So­ca War­riors coach Hut­son Charles at the end of yes­ter­day's prac­tice ses­sion at the Lar­ry Gomes Sta­di­um, Mal­abar for this coun­try's Caribbean Foot­ball Union Cup Group Five first round qual­i­fiers in St Kitts/Nevis from Wednes­day un­til Sun­day. The 20-man squad, Charles be­lieves is a well-bal­anced one and in­cludes six play­ers from the na­tion­al un­der-23 squad that pro­gressed to the fi­nal stage of 2012 Olympic qual­i­fy­ing ear­li­er this year while some al­so have the ex­pe­ri­ence of play­ing at the FI­FA Un­der-20 and Un­der 17 World Cup dat­ing back to 2007 in South Ko­rea.

Charles, who was capped 32 times by the na­tion­al team and scored nine goals will have the ser­vices of over­seas-based play­ers Keon Daniel and Car­lyle Mitchell (US), Hugh­tun Hec­tor and Willis Plaza (Viet­nam) and Robert Primus (Kaza­khstan). How­ev­er, both Khaleem Hy­land of Bel­gium's Rac­ing Genk (in­jury) and Kevin Moli­no, on tri­al in Bel­gium, are out. Hec­tor and Plaza have been in train­ing with the team for the past few weeks af­ter re­turn­ing home fol­low­ing the end of their sea­son. Primus, Daniel and Mitchell are the over­seas pro­fes­sion­als who will fly in to join the team for next week's match­es.

Charles, who has been at the helm for three match­es has al­so in­clud­ed ex­pe­ri­enced mid­field­er Den­sill Theobald who helped his Neal & Massy Cale­do­nia AIA to the First Cit­i­zen's Bank Cup ti­tle on Fri­day night at the Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um, 2-1 over De­fence Force. Theobald is back from a full sea­son in the In­di­an Pre­mier League and is the on­ly play­er with 2006 World Cup ex­pe­ri­ence. W Con­nec­tion's Clyde Leon, De­fence Force strik­er De­vorn Jorsling, North East Stars de­fend­er Seon Pow­er as well as goal­keep­ers Mar­vin Phillip and cap­tain Jan-Michael Williams are some of the oth­ers with rel­a­tive se­nior in­ter­na­tion­al ex­pe­ri­ence.

De­fence Force's Kevon Carter has al­so earned a re­call af­ter be­ing side­lined from the na­tion­al team through in­jury ahead of the 2012 Caribbean Cup Fi­nals. The un­der-23 play­ers se­lect­ed in­clude for­ward Ja­mal Gay, de­fend­ers Jo­evin Jones, Cur­tis Gon­za­les, Daneil Cyrus, Ka­reem Moses and Primus who was part of the pro­vi­sion­al Olympic squad. Com­ment­ing on the squad, Charles said he was quite pleased with their show­ing in the build-up to next week's open­er against French Guyana at Warn­er Park. "I am sat­is­fied with the 20 play­ers se­lect­ed. Of course I would have liked Khaleem (Hy­land) and Kevin (Moli­no) but I have enough faith in the guys with us now that they can get the job done. They've all done very well in train­ing and the mood in the camp, when you ob­serve it, re­al­ly shows that they are hun­gry for the chal­lenge and that's a good sign for us."
