Katie Ebzery and Leilani Mitchell will represent Newcastle at the Tokyo Olympics after being named in the Opals squad.
The 12-player team was released this morning, just two months out from the Games.
Both Ebzery and Mitchell will contest their second Olympics after being part of the Australian women’s basketball team in Rio five years ago.
The Opals are aiming to add to their rich Olympic legacy, with three Olympic silver and two bronze medals.
The team, ranked number two in the world, has been drawn in Pool C, with pool matches against Belgium, Puerto Rico and China tipping off on 27 July in Saitama Super Arena.
