MANILA, Philippines – Expectations are high as Gilas Pilipinas plunges back to action in the fourth window of the FIBA World Cup Asia Qualifiers this August.

NBA player Jordan Clarkson and Kai Sotto return to national team duty when the Philippines – toting a 2-2 record – tangle with Lebanon and Saudi Arabia.

The Filipinos will face the Lebanese on the road in Beirut and will host the Saudis at the Mall of Asia Arena, hoping to sweep the window behind a retooled roster composed of PBA stars and Japan B. League standouts.

Lebanon occupies second place in Group E with a 3-1 card, while Saudi Arabia sits behind the Philippines at fifth place with a 1-3 record.
