He represented the Reggae Boyz in the Gold Cup last year and helped them to a second placed finish in the group stages, before they were knocked out by USA at the quarter-final stage.

Speaking after his call-up, Amari’i said: “I’m very pleased. It has been a while, nearly a year since I played for them in the Gold Cup. I was disappointed not to play in any of the World Cup qualifiers but now we have the Nations League games so that is going to be exciting.

“It will be good. When you play against the bigger teams it is always good to test yourself against the best players in the world, so it is definitely going to be exciting.”
