CLARK GIVEN CAPTAIN’S STEER

Dan Clark says itâ€

s a “great honour†after he was named as Great Britainâ€

s new captain.

As expected, the London-born forward, 30, was confirmed as Kieron Acharaâ€

s successor in the role ahead of Thursdayâ€

s EuroBasket pre-qualifier against Austria in Manchester.

“Itâ€

s a great privilege,†he said. “Iâ€

ve been lucky enough to be under some good captains over the years with Drew (Sullivan) and Kieron. A lot of other veteran players that you learn off. Hopefully I can pass some things onto the younger guys.â€

Surrey Scorchersâ€

guard Josh Steel will get his debut in the contest as GB look for a convincing win to open up their three-team group.

“More than anything itâ€

s just to come together,†Clark admitted. “In previous games, when times have got tough, weâ€

ve fallen apart. Everyone has gone by themselves.â€
