Midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng has formally announced his return to international football after a near two-year hiatus. The AC Milan midfielder temporary quit the Black Stars in November 2011 citing fatigue from travel in a move that shocked all.
Boateng in his letter confirming his availability to play for the Black Stars a second time said �I write to inform the Ghana Football Association (GFA) that after a few consultations, I have decided to change my decision and confirm my availability to play for the Black Stars whenever I am needed.�
Meanwhile, the GFA has welcomed the decision of the German-born midfielder, who has not featured for the Black Stars since a Nations Cup qualifier against Congo in Kumasi two years ago. Emmanuel Gyimah, GFA General Secretary said: �It is with great pleasure that we welcome your decision to return to action to the national team of Ghana, the Black Stars.
�Your decision to return to action for Ghana will surely re-energise the Black Stars for our future challenges. �We are confident that you will work hard in the team to ensure the continuous progress of our beloved national team of Ghana, the Black Stars.�
Boateng made his debut for the Black Stars at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, his major outing with the national team �A�.
