Mitch Creek and Deng Adel, alongside 2016 Olympian Brock Motum, are the major omissions from a squad of 12 that still boasts a wealth of NBA talent.

NBA regulars Joe Ingles, Aron Baynes, Patty Mills, Jonah Bolden and Matthew Dellavedova will lead a side chasing its first major international medal, while veteran centre Andrew Bogut is the reigning NBL MVP and is back in Sydney after a short-term stint with the Golden State Warriors.

Before the Boomers head to China for the World Cup, they will play a series of home warm-up games - during the 2019 international basketball series - LIVE, FREE and in HD on SBS VICELAND / streamed live via SBS On Demand.
