Goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts, defender Shavar Thomas and striker Omar Cummings will not be available for Jamaica’s friendly international against the 2010 World Cup hosts South Africa on November 17.



Ricketts of L.A. Galaxy, Thomas of Chivas USA and Cummings of Colorado Rapids will not be released by their clubs.



All three clubs have advanced to the playoffs in the United States Major League and as a result the players will have a busy schedule during November.



A fourth player, Ricardo Fuller is doubtful for the trip as the Jamaica Football Federation has not received a response from his club, Stoke City.



Meanwhile, the home-based Reggae Boyz will return to camp on Monday, November 2 and remain until Thursday, November 5. They will return to camp on Monday, November 9 with the squad for the South Africa game to be named two days later.
