China has confirmed its 12-player roster for the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup on Monday, with forward Zhang Ning and point guard Xu Jie being late scratches.

The 12 participants are Wang Junjie, Zhu Junlong, Li Xiangbo, Yu Jiahao, Zhao Rui, Zhao Jiayi, Hu Jinqiu, Hu Mingxuan, Gao Shiyan, Liao Sanning, Cheng Shuaipeng and Lei Meng.

In a statement, the Chinese team said that its coaching staff had decided the roster "on the basis of overall preparation needs for the FIBA Asia Cup," and submitted it to the organizing committee on Monday.

The 2025 FIBA Asia Cup will take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from August 5 to 17. China is drawn in Group C along with Saudi Arabia, India and Jordan.

As the most decorated team in the tournament's history with 16 titles, most recently in 2015 on home soil, China has fallen short in the past two editions, exiting at the quarterfinal stage on both occasions.

China will kick off its campaign against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
