'I don't care' about Ghana selection - Waris

Strasbourg and Ghana forward Majeed Waris is unconcerned about his lack of involvement with the Black Stars which is now running to 10 months.

The 32-time international last played in a 1-0 pre-2019 Africa Cup of Nations friendly with Namibia on June 9, 2019 which ended in a 1-0 defeat.

Waris was left out for the tournament proper in Egypt which saw Ghana's campaign ended in the Round of 16 to Tunisia via penalties.

He has not received any call-up since the Namibia friendly defeat.

“I don’t care if they don’t call me back [to Black Stars] because I have achieved something good for myself personally in Europe but I think we just have to all help to bring back that love to the people and support the team so that we can achieve something as a nation,” Waris told Adom TV

“I can see that we have new people on board [in management] and I see that there are a lot of changes happening. I just hope that those changes will have a lot of positive impact in the team and in the nation as well.

“I remember the first time I played [for the Black Stars] before World Cup 2014, we played a match in Kumasi and you could see the way the people were happy. You can see there is love for football in Ghanaians."

Waris is on loan at Strasbourg from FC Porto. He arrived as a January signing and played seven times in Ligue 1, scoring two goals and providing an assist.

Le Racing finished 11th in the standings after the league was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
