Eleven players were selected for the National Men’s squad and two players were selected for the National Women’s squad. 

Meanwhile four players booked their place in the Men’s B while one player booked her berth in the Women’s Development Squad.

Giving encouragement for the youngsters SLGU also selected eight players for the Men’s C development outfit.
