Ghana is in a dire position and needs to win both upcoming matches to stand a chance of qualifying for the tournament set to be held in Morocco in 2025.
The selection of Ayew as captain could bring valuable experience, especially as Ghana looks to end the qualifiers on a strong note.
In the Black Stars’ last two games against Sudan West Ham forward Mohammed Kudus captained the squad but that responsibility will now fall on Jordan Ayew who is the team’s most capped player.
Ghana are third in group F on two points with Angola on twelve points and Sudan and Niger on seven and one point respectively.
