Cameroon left out long-serving centre back Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui from their squad for the World Cup in a shock omission as coach Rigobert Song named his 26-man selection for Qatar on Wednesday.

Song also included teenage goalkeeper Simon Ngapandouetnbu, who is on the books of Olympique de Marseille but yet to play a senior match. He is the only uncapped player in the squad.

Cameroon will play in an eighth World Cup — a record number of appearances for an African nation — and take on Switzerland, Serbia and Brazil in Group G. Their first game is against the Swiss at Al Janoub Stadium, Al Wakrah on November 24. Cameroon's squad announcement followed their 1-1 draw with Jamaica at Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaoundé on Wednesday in a friendly organised to allow home fans to bid farewell to the World Cup-bound team.

Justin McMaster put Jamaica ahead after an hour and Cameroon substitute Djamal Kaiba equalised 17 minutes from time.
