The team will be the first men's team to represent Australia since the 2007 World Championship in Guangzhou, China, and consists of seven players making their international debut at the games.
The team, led by coach Matthew Dunstan is the future of the sport in Australia, with seven players aged under twenty-three.
"It is an exciting time for deaf basketball in Australia. It has been sometime since the sport has been able to gather a group of dedicated individuals to commit to the demands of international competition," said Coach Dunstan.
"It is refreshing to know that we had more athletes fighting for spots than we had places available. The fact that seven of these young men are aged under twenty-three shows the sport will continue to grow and our ongoing representation on the international stage will flourish," he said.
