"In International breaks like it is now, if players are available, they should be there," Morris tells KickOff.
"By the time you go to the AFCON, you have your base, you have your core, and the players know each other, they know exactly what the coach wants from them, and they can implement it in the tournament.
"Even if those players are not involved in all the games, you need that base because you are working towards something.
"I don't think it's right to call certain players for certain games and then you don't have that momentum.
"You need to build that momentum, build the team for the future, you should always have everybody, you should have a core of like 40, 50 players to find the perfect balance.
