The British Basketball Federation has revealed the squad list for the Great Britain Under-20 men, with the players that were in contention for 2020 European Championships, which have been cancelled due to COVID-19.
Unable to name the final-12 due to training camps and all preparation not taking place, the BBF wanted to formally recognise the players who were going to be called up to fight for a place in the squad.
The Under-20s were to be coached by Alan Keane this year. Jacob Round, Nathan Robinson, Hosana Kitenge, Kareem Queeley (pictured above), and CJ Hayden are all named for a second year with the U20s after representing last summer as younger generation players
Charlie Ford, Chair of the Youth Teams Performance Group said: “Although we understand that nothing can replace the opportunity to pull on the GB jersey, sing the national anthem and compete for European Championship medals, we hope that this announcement will be met with pride and a continued intention to be part of future squads whether that be at youth or senior level.
“Following today’s announcement, the representative performance leads in each home nation will be in touch with players individually to discuss next steps and support that is available.”

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.
