Elevated to first choice earlier this year after the retirement of Chokri El Ouaer.

Boumnijel is not short of club experience but El Ouaer's dominance at international level - he won over 100 caps - meant the understudy did not see much international action - until now.

At the 36 he has waited a long time for his chance and will hope to take it with both hands.

He plays his domestic football in France with Bastia where he has a reliable reputation.
