In recent days, a dedicated WhatsApp group has been established, which includes 27 players who have been notified that they are on the extended squad of the Israeli team for this coming summer and must be ready for the summons.
The team will play over the next few months in two windows as part of the World Cup qualifiers (June and August) and will reach the peak moment in September when it goes to the European Championships.
Not all players listed below will be included in the final roster and there is a possibility that another player or two will be invited - for example TJ Leaf if he expresses a willingness to join - but this list is the basis, and from these names national coach Guy Goodes will form the team for important games.
