Selangor Hornbills have unveiled their 16-man roster for the 2026 MBL Pro League season, featuring a young local squad, experienced former national players and three international signings.
Making their first appearance in the MBL Pro League, the Hornbills have assembled a squad that combines emerging local talent with experienced campaigners, as the club prepares for its opening game against NS Matrix Deers on 6 November.
The local backcourt will feature Teoh Yi Kang, Brian Tang Kia Wee and Tan Jian Wei, who are expected to play key roles in the team's guard rotation. They are joined by Lim Jun Wei and Liew Kah Kenn, providing further options in the backcourt.
In the frontcourt, Yap Zhi Wei, Keshmendip Singh Gill and Lim Wan Seong form the core of the Hornbills' local rotation, alongside Siew Hong Kee, Kua Yee Luen and Nik Muhammad Hafizudin.
Former national players Teo Kok Hou and Kuek Tian Yuan bring valuable experience to the squad. Both veterans are expected to provide leadership and guidance to a relatively young team, with several players preparing for their first taste of professional league basketball.
The Hornbills have also recruited three international players in 208 cm centre Wendell Lewis, guard Marshawn Blackmon and 204 cm forward Julio Claver De Assis Afonso to strengthen the squad ahead of the campaign.
Under Head Coach Adrian Wong, the team has spent its pre-season preparing for the step up to professional competition, with the younger players eager to test themselves at this level.
The Hornbills begin their MBL Pro League campaign against NS Matrix Deers on 6 November.
Fans can view the full roster, including jersey numbers, positions and player profiles, on the club's Team page.
