Great Britain's basketball team are returning to Birmingham in September for their European tie against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Coach Chris Finch's team registered a vital win over Slovakia at the National Indoor Arena last summer, and they are keen to return this year. "I liked the NIA last year, there was a great atmosphere," said Finch. The GB line-up for the game is set to include Chicago Bulls stars Luol Deng and Ben Gordon. Sutton Coldfield-born Chris Sanders will also be returning to the West Midlands in a national team shirt, and he has his sights set on qualifying for the finals of EuroBasket.  | The supporters should see the best GB team that has ever been put together |
"This year, more than in previous years, it is going to be so important that teams make the most of their home court advantage," Sanders said. "The supporters should expect to see the best GB team that has ever been put together. The team is going to have so much talent on it with top players that play in the best leagues around the world." Great Britain also take on Israel and the Czech Republic in their group games, all of which take place in the first three weeks of September. The match against Bosnia and Herzegovina at the NIA scheduled for Wednesday, 10 September.
