“Teisha is a very exciting young talent and this will be a great opportunity for her in her first real exposure to international wheelchair basketball,” Charlton said.

The U25 Women’s World Championships feature eight countries, with the Australian Devils the current bronze medallists from Beijing, China back in 2015.

“This is a great opportunity and one that all the players and staff are very much looking forward to,” Head of Wheelchair Basketball Leigh Gooding said.

“Being selected to represent your country on the International stage, and to be able to play at the highest junior level is an honour.

“This is a young developing group, and a fantastic squad of young women that will do us proud.

“They will need to come together very quickly in the early rounds, in what is sure to be a testing environment to make a run at a medal, but we are confident with the personnel we have selected.”
