Great Britain have announced their squads for the upcoming Europe Cup qualifier and U23 Nations League competition.

WBBL playoffs final MVP Shanice Beckford-Norton is joined by current GB internationals Temi Fagbenle, Chantelle Handy and Shequila Joseph on the roster, led by Stef Collins.

“The tournaments will be a great opportunity to see where we are as it is our first time entering teams into this competition and we will use this experience to continue to learn, adapt, and grow with 3×3,” said Collins, via release.

“Our ambition is to continue supporting our long list of players and others to take part in 3×3 this summer through the various Ball-Out tournaments as this will be an important part in identifying talent and further boost individual and federation ranking points.”

They head to Romania on June 26-27 as they look to clinch one of the four spots available to the FIBA Europe Cup.

Meanwhile, Kenrick Liburd will lead a younger squad competing at the Under-23 Nations League with Abby Lowe, Loren Christie, Paige Robinson and Katie Bennett selected.

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.
