Team: Francisco Sanchez Ruiz (Spa), David Alcaide (Spa), Jayson Shaw (Sco, playing vice-captain), Albin Ouschan (Aut), Joshua Filler (Ger).

One to watch: Ranked No 5 in the world and a two-time Mosconi Cup Most Valuable Player, Scotland's Jayson Shaw will surely be one of the key players for Europe if they are to retain the trophy this year.

The 33-year-old claimed his first Nineball World Tour tournament win in October too as he beat Europe team-mate Albin Ouschan 13-12 in an epic final to be crowned the first Hanoi Open champion, celebrating in equally spectacular style.

Team USA

Mosconi Cup wins: 13* (1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2018, 2019).

Captain: Jeremy Jones.

Team: Skyler Woodward (playing vice-captain), Fedor Gorst, Shane van Boening, Tyler Styer, Shane Wolford.

One to watch: Had things been different, Fedor Gorst would most likely have been representing Europe at this year's Mosconi Cup. Instead, the Russia-born 23-year-old will be turning out for the USA after recently being granted permanent residency in America.
