Apart from the four, three players are also making a comeback to the national team.
Kamura, last made to the national team in 2018, has since been snubbed for national assignments before current Harambee Stars coach Engin Firat handed him a recall following his consistent showings for Homeboyz.
"Patience and hardwork to my game helped me to return to the Harambee Stars.It has not been easy since 2018 since there is no player who doesn't want to represent his nation but I am happy to be among the local based players in the squad," Kamura told reporters on Sunday.

However, the former AFC Leopards captain noted that, like all the defenders in the team, he will have to do enough to convince the Harambee Stars coach to consider him when he names his final squad.
Being called to the national team, I don't call it a success since there are many great players in the team, and I will have to showcase my abilities in the camp so that I can impress the coaches and be among the travelling party," he added.
Harambee Stars players reported to camp on Monday 5 ahead of the upcoming four nations tournament in Mauritius slated for June 11-18.
