    Tall Black Mika Vukona will lead an inexperienced squad in Saturday's Asia Cup basketball qualifier against Australia in Cairns


    The 151-game international will suit up alongside 10 debutants for the fixture, as well as Taine Murray - who debuted in 2019 and has played two games.

    Neither Australia or the Tall Blacks have access to their Australian NBL or overseas players for the game.
