RAVEL MORRISON looks as though he’s turning his back on England for Jamaica.
The former Manchester United and West Ham misfit is currently playing for Atlas in Mexico.
And Morrison, 25, posted a letter on Instagram that appears to be the Jamaica Football Federation asking Atlas to release him for a friendly on March 25.
The midfielder looks to have been selected for the squad to face Antigua and Barbuda in Kingston, although this looks like a ‘meet and greet’ session and he won’t necessarily play.
Morrison is a former England youth international but qualifies for Jamaica and actually considered representing the Caribbean island as far back as 2012.
Now ESPN Mexico report that he is keen on the Reggae Boyz and that the paperwork is being processed for the player to do so.
