The PSL will have another player at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations after Jomo Cosmos defender Ousmane Berthe was added to the Mali selection.
Berthe was picked in the preliminary squad named by coach Alain Giresse, but did not make the final 23-man selection for the competition.
However, an injury to Mohamed Fofana has seen Giresse bring in Berthe, who featured for the country at the 2010 tournament in Angola.
Mali made one other change with Souleymane Keita replacing the injured Kalilou Traore.
It means there are now 17 players from the PSL at the tournament, with Zambia (eight) and Botswana (six) leading the way.
Aside from Berthe, the Nigerien duo of Mohamed Chicoto (Platinum Stars) and Boubacar Talatou (Orlando Pirates) will also be at the continental showpiece.
PSL players at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations:
Botswana (6): Mogogi Gabonamong (SuperSport United), Boitumelo Mafoko (Santos), Modiri Marumo, Moemedi Moatlhaping (both Bay United), Penyo Mongala (Bloemfontein Celtic), Dipsy Selolwane (SuperSport United)
Mali (1): Ousmane Berthe (Jomo Cosmos)
Niger (2): Mohamed Chicoto (Platinum Stars), Boubacar Talatou (Orlando Pirates)
Zambia (8): Isaac Chansa (Orlando Pirates), Kampamba Chintu (Bidvest Wits), Noah Chivuta (Free State Stars), Collins Mbesuma (Lamontville Golden Arrows), Clifford Mulenga (Bloemfontein Celtic), Kennedy Mweene (Free State Stars), Joseph Musonda (Lamontville Golden Arrows), Davies Nkausu (SuperSport United)
