Former Edinburgh Kool Kat Anderson joins Falkirk's Mairi Buchan as the only Scots in the squad of 16 who will assemble for training at Surrey Park on May 1 before playing in a Four Nation Tournament there from May 18-20 against Latvia, Germany and Cuba.

Anderson has been on a rowing scholarship at Oklahoma University while she finishes her exams, but has been able to train regularly with her former basketball team-mates and says she is "fit and ready to go for GB".

Buchan has also been sidelined this last season after injuring an ankle and chose to red-shirt in order to give the maximum attention to her rehab programme.
