Baastian Banks, Murdoch Bech, Sam Cowen, Sam Denize, Connor Harvey-Price, Nathan Honeyfield, Quade Raroa and Bobby Scott are full squad members, while Harley Stevens and Mark Seagar have been named as a travelling alternates.
New Zealand’s 22-strong team, including four American-based players, are ranked 19th in the world and are hopeful to improve their ranking.
Upon their return from Korea, some squad members will have just a day to recover before leaving to compete at the national secondary schools lacrosse tournament in Auckland.
Those young enough will hope to gain selection for the Waikato under-18 team to play at the Te Awamutu-based nationals in September.
The under-18 tournament will be held in conjunction with the under-15 division, a great opportunity for the Te Awamutu economy and spectators.
