England Select Squad Named for Exhibition

By Sam Neter on December 18, 2013

England Senior Men’s coach Paul James has chosen a list of 15 players from whom he will select a team to compete against Ireland Select on 12 January at the NIA, Birmingham.

England will be looking to avenge last year’s loss in the game, that is part of the BBL’s Cup Final Day.

“It should be a lot of fun, these games always are,” James said. “They get intense but are always played in great spirit. It will be a challenge as the preparation time is very limited but as long as it throws up some all-star style highlights then it’s a good spectacle for the basketball fan!”

The current 15 man roster is made up entirely of BBL players.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
