Big brother Roganovic also named to the national handball team

Michael Apelgren has named his first national-team squad since the team's failure at the European Handball Championship in January. The only new name is goalkeeper Marko Roganovic.

The 23-year-old replaces veteran Andreas Palicka, who left the Blues and Yellows after finishing sixth at the European Championship. Roganovic, a professional in Danish club Bjerringbro-Silkeborg, will compete with Mikael Appelgren and Fabian Norsten for the goalkeeper position.

When it comes to players based abroad, the national team captain is betting exclusively on the players who participated in the European Championship on home soil for the international matches against Iceland in Reykjavik on March 19 and 21.

Among them is 19-year-old left-back Nikola Roganovic, Marko's younger brother.
