Great Britain name roster for vital window

Great Britain have announced their 12-player squad ahead of the FIBA Women’s EuroBasket Qualifiers against Estonia in Manchester and away to Denmark this week.

Head coach Anna Montanana knows that two wins from this window could land GB a spot at this summer’s FIBA Women’s EuroBasket, starting with tonight’s game against Estonia (Thursday).

GB follow their home clash with Estonia with a trip to Denmark on Sunday afternoon.

Montanana has named an experienced roster ahead of the arrival of the Estonians featuring Indiana Fever’s Temi Fagbenle and Holly Winterburn, who has recently joined the WNBA team Atlanta Dream’s training camp.

The Spanish tactician has also called upon several players from Super League Basketball, including the Oaklands Wolves trio of Shanice Beckford-Norton, Sam Ashby and Bo Guttormsdottir-Frost.

Also featured in the final 12 are Leicester Riders’ Katie Januszewska and the Caledonia Gladiators duo of Hannah Robb and Kirsty Brown.
