Other players also included are Tariq Lamptey, Kamaldeen Sulemana, Issahaku Abdul Fatawu, Daniel Amartey, Alexander Djiku and Abdul-Rahman Baba.
Uncapped striker Kamal Sowah’s form for Club Brugge in the Champions League won him a World Cup call-up for Ghana.
Sowah has impressed as the Belgian club reached the last 16 of the Champions League, knocking out Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen in the process.
There was also a first call up for midfielder Salis Abdul Samed, 22, who has been a regular for Racing Lens this season as they have moved to second in the French Ligue 1 standings.
Ghana have been forced to name three inexperienced goalkeepers after their first two choices – Jojo Wollacott from Charlton Athletic and South Africa-based Richard Ofori – were both injured in club action.
The mundial will officially kick-off on Sunday November 20.
