Total cases : 13C8 = 1287
Case 1 : Only 1 of the 3 tallest players inside the team
3C1 (pick 1 of the 3)
x 10C7 (pick 7 of the 10 remaining players)
= 360
Case 2 : None of the 3 tallest players inside the team
10C8 (pick 8 of the remaining 10 players)
= 45
Case 3 : Both shortest players inside, 2 of 3 tallest players inside
3C2 (pick 2 of the 3 tallest)
x 2C2 (pick both shortest players, you can skip writing this since it's just 1 way)
x 8C4 (pick 4 from the remaining 8)
= 210
Case 4 : Both shortest players inside, all 3 tallest players inside
3C3 (pick all 3 tallest players, you can skip writing this since it's just 1 way)
x 2C2 (pick both shortest players, you can also skip writing this since it's just 1 way)
x 8C3 (pick 3 players from the remaining 8)
= 56
Required cases = total - these cases
= 1287 - 360 - 45 - 210 - 56
= 616
