Fragkias settles on Qatar roster for Changsha

DOHA (2015 FIBA Asia Championship) - Experience will not be in short supply when Qatar run onto the court to play at the FIBA Asia Championship.

Half of the 12-man squad that will compete in Changsha, China, from 23 September-3 October featured at the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship in the Philippines when the team reached the Quarter-Finals before falling to Korea.

On the roster for the second consecutive championship are Saad Abdulrahman, Daoud Mousa Daoud, Khalid Suliman Abdi, Erfan Ali Saeed, Mohammed Saleem Abdullah and Mohd Yousuf Mohammed.

Daoud had some big games, including in a 75-61 win over Jordan.

The 1.94m guard was the team's second-leading scorer two years ago averaging 10.8 points per game and Saeed was fourth (10.2 points).

Qatar, who are coached by Vasileios Fragkias, will play in Group D against Chinese Taipei, Lebanon and Kazakhstan, with only the top three teams advancing to the Second Round.

The side that wins the FIBA Asia Championship will clinch a spot in the Rio de Janeiro Games.

The teams that finish second, third and fourth will claim places in one of the three 2016 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments (OQTs).

Qatar final roster for 2015 FIBA Asia Championship: Khalid Suliman Abdi, Mohammed Seleem Abdulla, Mohammed Seleem Abdulla, Khalid Abdalla, Daoud Mousa Daoud, Clinton Finhoir J III, Abduallah Shaher Matalkeh, Mohamed Hassan Mohamed, Mohd Yousuf Mohammed, Abdulrahman Mohamed Saad, Erfan Ali Saeed and Yassin Mahdi F Taha.
