    DIVONNE (EuroBasket Women) - France veteran guard Edwige Lawson-Wade is looking to end a four-year hiatus from the national team and help the reigning EuroBasket Women champions defend their title in Poland.

    Lawson-Wade, who last played for the French national team at EuroBasket Women 2007 in Chieti, is in the 16-woman squad currently training in Divonne, France.

    Pierre Vincent's charges will face their first test this weekend as they take on Belgium, Greece and Israel in a warm-up tournament.

    The 32-year-old took time out to talk to FIBA about returning to the French set-up, what she learned from her time in the WNBA and how she felt when France won in Latvia two years ago.
