Keravnos Strovolou has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the call-ups to the Cyprus National Team, accusing the KOK (Cyprus Basketball Federation) of incomprehensible decisions that affect competition. The team protests the call-up of all eight of its Cypriot players, despite the injuries of some, and hints at a conflict of interest, given that the national coach is also the coach of their main rival. Keravnos believes that this practice directly affects the outcome of domestic competitions and demands more convincing answers from those responsible, emphasizing the importance of athlete health and fair play.
