The three new schoolboys are Orrett Fisher and Devon Williams of St George’s College and Jameel Hardware of Bridgeport High.
Tivoli Gardens’ Under-21 and Digicel Premier League representative Dane Kelly has also earned his first call to the country’s senior squad; while Waterhouse goalkeeper Richard McCallum has been recalled.
New York Red Bulls forward/midfielder Dane Richards, who was not involved in the game against Canada, has made a return to the squad.
The squad also includes five other overseas-based players.
