Back row Bravo and prop Peltier were named in an initial 50-man squad ahead of the Reggae Warriors’ first ever appearance at the tournament.
They will attend a three-day camp at Weetwood Hall in Leeds from June 22-24 alongside Jamaica’s other English-based players.

Peltier, 29, found himself in the headlines for the wrong reasons recently when he was dropped as a candidate for the Green Party due to historical homophobic tweets.
“We have named a strong train-on squad which gives us coverage in all positions”, said Jamaica’s head coach Romeo Monteith.
“Only 24 players can make the final cut and so I know everyone will want to put themselves in the best position to be selected.

Dons Carl Hall chief executive said: “It’s an absolute honour for the club to provide two players to the Jamaican train-on squad.
“I am sure the boys will go into camp and train the house down and we hope to see them both taking part in the Rugby League World Cup in October.”
