The Standard Life GB men have been riddled with injuries, illnesses and player availability; however, with the first EuroBasket game in two day's time Finch has been able to train with a fully fit squad for the first time this summer, which made his decision to cut Justin Robinson and Jermaine Forbes even harder.

A fully fit Kieron Achara and Flinder Boyd will travel to Poland, alongside Houston Rocket Pops Mensah-Bonsu and Malaga pair Rob Archibald and Joel Freeland, while former GB under 20 Dan Clark will have the chance to make his senior debut in a competitive game.

"It's an interesting roster, we have a lot of depth up front in the big guys and that will be the strength we need to play to," said Finch.

"But I also want to acknowledge the guys who didn't make the roster. Justin did a great job playing at this level and I'm sure he learnt a lot.

"This was probably the highest level he has played at in his life. He is definitely one for the future as he gives us some things we just don't have at the moment.

"I'm looking forward him making a big step between now and next summer.

"It was the first chance to see what Jermaine could do. He was extremely solid and I will be interested to see what happens with him over the next year. It was a difficult decision to leave him off but we went for youth in there instead, even though it's a little unbalanced.

"For the first time yesterday we had a chance to have our full squad train together. Everyone is in the right frame of mind to compete.

"Over the last couple of days there has been a good spirit in the team and I think everyone is looking forward to arriving in Poland.

"The key to competing internationally is understanding that you can't control your environment. When it comes to the national team you can't control certain aspects so you have to make the best of it and stay flexible.

"This year was a good example of that and we have had to demonstrate how we've had to be creative, but I'm confident we have it right."

Britain open their European campaign against Slovenia on Monday.
