“I always love the opportunity to play for Australia and represent the country,” Vasiljevic said.
“I’ve made it no secret I want to play at the Olympics and to be in the Boomers system.”
Australia will play Thailand in Bangkok on November 21 before travelling to Goyang to battle Korea on November 24 in the qualifying process for the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup.
The Boomers are defending FIBA Asia Cup champions from 2022 and are currently top of Group A with a 2-0 record ahead of next year’s tournament in Saudi Arabia.
