Callanan (34) and ‘Bonner’ Maher (33) were both hit with injuries this year and were unavailable to former boss Colm Bonnar.
Cahill has named a 40 man pre league squad with 25 clubs represented.
The former Waterford boss has also stressed that a number of injured players have not been included, but will be monitored over the coming weeks.
Jerome Cahill, who recently impressed in helping Kilruane McDonaghs to a first Tipperary title in 37 years is not named after hinting the commitment levels may be too much.
