The squad includes Kevin-Prince Boateng.

Ghana have unveiled a 30-man provisional squad for the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.

Coach Milovan Rajevac included Kevin-Prince Boateng, although his nationality switch is yet to be finalised by world football governing body FIFA.

The list will be pruned down to 23 by June 1.

Star players who are yet to recover from injuries - Michael Essien and John Mensah – made it into the list alongside Qatar-based Quincy Owusu-Abeyie. Bologna’s Stephen Appiah is also named despite the fact that he has not played at club level for some while now.

Four locally-based players earned places in the team, with three of them being goalkeepers.

Conspicously missing from the list was goal-poacher Eric Bekoe of Egyptian side Petrojet.

The full squad:
    
Goalkeepers: Richard Kingson, Daniel Agyei, Stephen Aholu, Stephen Adams

Defenders: John Paintsil, John Mensah, Samuel Inkoom, Hans Adu Sarpei, Rahim Ayew, Lee Addy, Isaac Vorsah, Jonathan Mensah, Eric Addo

Midfielders: Michael Essien, Kwadwo Asamoah, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, Anthony Annan, Sulley Muntari, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Quincy Owusu-Abeyie, Stephen Appiah, Andre Ayew, Laryea Kingston, Derek Boateng, Bernard Kumordzi, Haminu Draman

Attackers: Asamoah Gyan, Prince Tagoe, Dominic Adiyiah, Mathew Amoah
