Koulikov said: “Tom has been the top British defenceman in the EPL for the last two years. I’m very pleased that he has been recognised with a call up by GB.”

Former Phantoms man Luke Ferrara, now of Elite League outfit Sheffield Steelers, has also made the squad for the game in Nottingham.

City man David Clarke, a legend of the sport, also features in the Nottingham line-up while Lewis Hook, who now plays his club hockey for Milton Keynes, is in the Cardiff side.
