Basketball federation expands provisional pool

Junior Hercules

With official training for the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Pre-Qualifiers penciled to start Saturday, the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) has opted to increase their provisional squad to 27 members.

This was revealed by head-coach Junior Hercules yesterday during a brief interview with Stabroek Sport.

According to Hercules, “We decided to expand the pool of players primarily because of the large period of inactivity and the uncertainty surrounding CoVID-19. We expect the inactivity on the part of the players to have a negative impact on players conditioning/mindset and for this reason also, we thought it wise to increase the pool of players.”
