The versatile player, who is at ease in either defense or attack, is joined by new faces Joel Bailey and Darryl Roberts.
The nucleus of the squad, which toured Britain for friendlies with Iraq and Scotland, remains. Arnold Dwarika, Jerren Nixon and Kerwyn Jemmott, however, have been left out.
Coach Bertille St. Claire, meanwhile, was very critical of his team's performance against Scotland on Sunday, when they crashed to an embarrassing 4-1 defeat.
"I have been in the job for four months now and I said at the very start that this campaign is not going to be a tea party. I also said that I wanted players with talent, but who also had character and a tough mental attitude," he said Tuesday. "This will take time, but I intend to build the team brick by brick."
Trinidad and Tobago opens its 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign on June 13 at the Dominican Republic. The second leg is scheduled for June 20.
