The tournament will be held in Sydney from June 26 to July 2 with the Opals taking on the Philippines in game one.

They will then battle it out against Chinese Taipei in game two before they take on Japan.

Marianna Tolo, who played with Launceston in NBL1 South last season, and Lauren Nicholson, who has played multiple seasons with the Tornadoes in the past, have also been named.

The squad features four members of last year's FIBA Women's World Cup bronze medal-winning team including Tess Madgen, Darcee Garbin, Anneli Maley and Tolo.

Six debutants have been named including 18-year-old Adelaide guard, Isobel Borlase, 2023 WNBA draftee, Shaneice Swain, as well as Chloe Bibby, Amy Atwell, Nyadiew Puoch and Chantel Horvat.

Froling, 27, was selected in the Opals' squad last year but did not make the World Cup team.

The forward hails from a strong basketball family and her brother Sam was recently named in the Australian Boomers' extended 18-man squad ahead of the FIBA World Cup.

That squad will take part in a training camp in Cairns before the final roster of 12 is named. He was also a member of Australia's gold-medal winning Asia Cup team last year.
