There are no big surprises in the 26-strong panel, as old guards Asamoah Gyan, Michael Essien and Sulley Muntari all made the cut, while Stephen Adams is the only home-based player included.
However, German-born Ghanaian Jeffrey Schlupp of Leicester City and Helsingborg striker David Accam have both been afforded opportunties to impress Appiah before he whittles his squad down to 23 after the May 31 friendly against Netherlands.
The Black Stars have been paired in the same group with USA, Germany and Portugal.
