Team Northumbria women’s basketball skipper Nicolette Fong Lyew Quee is targeting next week’s Belarus tournament after joining the GB senior squad.
The Sport Central playmaker and International Sport Management student has been named in a 15-strong squad.
And after yet another superb season anchoring TN in the WBBL and BUCS, Fong Lyew Quee fully deserves her latest crack at hoops glory.
The first camp of 2017 takes place in Loughborough this week with the invitational Belarus tournament starting on Sunday.
GB will come up against the hosts, Argentina and Croatia ahead of a summer of competitive FIBA action.
This week’s preparation camp offers coach Jose Maria Buceta an opportunity to assess recently graduated US-based players alongside the very best in WBBL-based talent.
And a second camp in July will see another raft of big names added to the current group.
"This is the first activity of the new campaign of the GB senior national team,” said Buceta. “This will be an important experience to improve the level of the team and an opportunity to see new players at international level.
“I’d like to thank all the players who have accepted this new challenge for their generous commitment to the team".
