The leadership of the Georgian national basketball team named the expanded composition (19 players), which will start preparation for the Euro-2015. 12 of 19 will remain in the team. The representatives of national team and Georgian Basketball Federation told this information to media at the conference hall of the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs.
There are two recruits in the team’s composition, Irakli Chlaidze (forward of “Sokhumi”) and Beka Tsivtsivadze (back liner of “Armia”). From the older composition, Mikheil Berishvili (forward of “Armia”) and Akaki Dvalishvili (central defender of “Kutaisi-2010”) joined the team. After mutual agreement with the team’s leadership, back liner Anatoli Boisa refused to play for the team. By the decision of Kokoshkov, forward Nikoloz Tskitishvili and back liner Giorgi Gamkrelidze could not get into the team.
