BANGKOK (Thailand) - A pool of 17 players will fight it out for a spot on the final Thailand roster as the hosts of the FIBA U19 Women's Basketball World Cup look to win their first ever game at the event.
Exactly a decade after they last appeared when hosting in 2009, Thailand will be out to cause an upset in their role as the Group A underdogs.

They will no doubt be targeting the match-up against Mozambique as their best chance of recording a maiden success, since the clashes against Canada and Latvia look hugely challenging.
Leading the way will be the likes of Yada Sriharaska, who top scored for her country at the FIBA U16 Women's Asia Championship 2017 in Bengaluru, with a near tournament double-double of 14.8 points and 9 boards per game.
