Earlier this week, the Basketball Federation of India released the 12-man roster that will represent India in Window 3 of the FIBA Asia Cup 2021 Qualifiers
The roster includes a small group of players on the roster who have had a recent association with the NBA. Amjyot Singh Gill, who played in the NBA G League as recently as March of 2019, is one of them while the couple of others are former NBA Academy India graduates - Amaan Sandhu and Prashant Singh Rawat.
Both Sandhu and Rawat were part of the NBA Academy India's first class of 21 student-athletes when it opened in May of 2017.
Who is on India's roster for Window 3 of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers?
Here's a look at the complete 12-man roster including the team's captain - Vishesh Bhirguvanshi (as per multiple reports):

What is India's schedule for Window 3 of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers?
Having lost three of their previous four Group D fixtures, India's chances of qualifying for the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup are slim but not gone.
| Opponent | Date, Day | Timings (IST) |
| Iraq | Saturday, Feb. 20 | 6:30 pm IST |
| Lebanon | Monday, Feb. 22 | 7:30 pm IST |
The Indian team has to win one of their two games to finish third in Group D, which would qualify the team for a tournament later this year. That tournament, which includes the six third-placed nations, will then only allow four to qualify for the FIBA Asia Cup 2021.
With Lebanon undefeated in the group so far, the Iraq fixture becomes a must-win game for India.
