Chivas USA defender Shavar Thomas has benefitted from his team’s elimination from the US Major League Soccer championship with a national recall. The 26-year-old defender will tomorrow travel with the Reggae Boyz to South Africa for a friendly international against that country.

Thomas joins his MLS counterparts Omar Cummings (Colorado Rapids) and Dane Richards (Red Bulls) to be included in the party. The exciting Jermaine Johnson (Sheffield Wednesday), Jamal Campbell-Ryce (Burnley) and Jason Morrison (Ferencvaros) will travel from Europe to meet the group.

Midfielder Rodolph Austin heads a list of European-based players who were already in the island preparing for the engagement. The others include Adrian Reid, Eric Vernan and Demar Phillips.

The 20-man squad is a good blend of local-based and overseas players with goalkeepers Shawn Sawyers and Dwayne Miller, defenders Jermaine Taylor and Dicoy Williams, midfielders Richard Edwards and Lovell Palmer and attacking players Navian Boyd, Keammar Daley, Brian Bayliss and Devon Hodges making up the local contingent.

Squad: Dwayne Miller, Dicoy Williams, Jermaine Taylor, Keammar Daley, Richard Edwards, Brian Bayliss, Lovell Palmer, Devon Hodges, Adrian Reid, Shawn Sawyers, Navian Boyd, Eric Vernan, Rodolph Austin, Demar Phillips, Omar Cummings, Dane Richards, Jamal Campbell-Ryce, Shavar Thomas, Jermaine Johnson, Jason Morrison.
