Striker Asamoah Gyan has reversed his decision to quit international football after talks with president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Turkey-based player announced on Wednesday.
But it is unknown if the Kayserispor striker has now accepted to role of being the General Captain of the Black Stars at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
Ghana's all-time leading goal-scorer Gyan retired from international football on Monday, a month before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations.
His decision comes as he was replaced as Ghana captain, with Andre Ayew likely to be given the role in Egypt.
The 33-year-old netted 51 goals in 106 international appearances, both Ghana national team records, which includes scoring at six consecutive Nations Cup finals, as well as three World Cups between 2006 and 2014.
Gyan's letter read: ''A presidential request is one that cannot be disregarded. I have had the opportunity to speak with the father of the nation, the President of the Republic, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who though respecting my wishes as spelt in my letter of 20th May, 2019, has asked me to rescind my decision to retire permanently from the Black Stars.
''I have taken the request of his His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in good faith, and will make myself available for selection by coach Kwasi Appiah.
''My desire to help Ghana end the over three-decade long wait to annex the AFCON trophy still burns strong, and I remain committed to serving this great nation and the people of Ghana. ''
