Bermuda basketball player Jenaya Wade-Fray has been called up by Great Britain as they look to qualify for next year's Eurobasket Championships in Poland.

Her selection follows an outstanding season with the University of Tennessee team in Chattanooga, USA.

The roster includes a mixture of experience and emerging talent ahead of what promises be a tough campaign in which they will play Slovak Republic, Germany and Ukraine home and away.

Seasoned campaigners like Rosalee Mason, Meagan Hoffman, Stephanie Collins and Kim Butler will be joined by such players as Johannah Leedham, who was picked 27th in round three of the WNBA draft, Wade-Fray and Scottish born Rose Anderson.

Coach Tom Maher said: "I have now been in the position long enough to enable me to assess the roster and work out what I needed to bring in for the forthcoming campaign.

"I think the balance we have between experience and emerging talent should provide us with the correct mix for what will be a challenging summer programme.

"It is disappointing we have recently lost Yemi (Oyefuwa) to injury as she would have made the roster this season. However, we wish her well for a speedy recovery."

Maher who has an impressive coaching pedigree at club and international level, leading Australia, New Zealand and China to the Olympic Games – including a silver and bronze for Australia in 2000 and 1996 respectively and a fourth place finish for China in Beijing in 2008.

Great Britain's camp will start on June 4 at a training base in Stirling, Scotland, before a number of test games, two of which will be at Surrey University, and away fixtures in Belgium, Holland and Israel.

All the test fixtures will supersede the Eurobasket schedule which gets underway on August 14 at home to Slovakia.

"We have brought the roster in earlier than usual so we can get as much time together before the games get underway. This is an important summer for the team, so we need to be 100 percent prepared for what is going to be an intensive summer of basketball." said Maher.

Last year Bermuda basketball player Erica Woods represented Great Britain's Under-20 Women's Olympic development team at the European Championships held in Macedonia and Greece.
