GB have announced a new-look 15-player squad ahead of their upcoming training camp for FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2023.

WBBL MVP Kiki Herbert-Harrigan is one of the newcomers in the squad alongside naturalised guard Sydney Wallace, while Kristine Anigwe is also included despite currently playing in the WNBA with Chicago Sky.

There are only six players that featured in the qualification triumph back in February with Chantelle Handy and Azania Stewart since retiring, while Cheridene Green and Georgia Gayle are both ruled out through injury with Kennedy Leonard and Eilidh Simpson also not involved.

Gabby Nikitinaite is included after a strong rookie year in Europe in Switzerland, while Savannah Wilkinson makes a return to the setup along with potential debutante Ire Ozzy-Momodu following their seasons in America.

There are also returns for Nicolette Fairley, Robyn Lewis, Erin McGarrachan and Harriet Ottewill-Soulsby as they join London Lions’ Holly Winterburn and Shequila Joseph as well as Leicester Riders duo Kirsty Brown and Hannah Robb as the other WBBL-based members of the squad.

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.
