Winnicki selects Poland's final 12

WARSAW (EuroBasket Women 2015) - Ewelina Kobryn, Julie McBride and Justyna Zurowska-Cegielska look like carrying the bulk of Poland's hopes at EuroBasket Women 2015 after head coach Jacek Winnicki revealed his roster for the event.

The Group B competitors will go up against Belarus, Greece, Italy and Turkey in Oradea looking to get past the first phase and much will hinge on the duo.

Kobryn is a long standing leader of the team and has a big reputation in the game, having decided to come out of retirement last summer to help Poland punch their ticket for the competition.

Wisla Can-Pack forward Zurowska-Cegielska was a major contributor last year and led the team in points, rebounds and steals.

McBride will offer a combo option at the guard spots and how she integrates into the international arena on her major tournament debut will be pivotal.

There is also a return for Magdalena Leciejewska who previously excelled in EuroLeague Women when at CCC Polkowice working under coach Winnicki, while current Polkowice young gun Dominika Owczarzak is also included.

However, there was a big disappointment for Aldona Morawiec and also Magdalena Zietara, who played in qualification but has not been rewarded with a place at the Final Round.

Poland final roster for EuroBasket Women 2015: Marta Jujka, Ewelina Kobryn, Martyna Koc, Katarzyna Krezel, Magdalena Leciejewska, Julie McBride, Elzbieta Miedzik, Malgorzata Misiuk, Dominika Owczarzak, Paulina Pawlak, Agnieszka Skobel, Justyna Zurowska-Cegielska.
