The Cricket Australia National Selection Panel (NSP) has today named a 15-player squad for the upcoming ICC Women’s World Cup to be played across India and Sri Lanka.

Australia will finalise its preparations with three One-Day Internationals against hosts, India from 14-20 September in New Chandigarh and New Dehli, before opening its World Cup campaign against Trans-Tasman rivals, New Zealand in Indore on 1 October.

Nicole Faltum and Charli Knott will join the squad for the ODI series, returning home for the start of the Women’s National Cricket League (WNCL).

Phoebe Litchfield, Georgia Voll, Sophie Molineux, Georgia Wareham and Kim Garth have been included in their first 50-over World Cup squad, while Grace Harris could play her first ODI World Cup match during the tournament having been a part of Australia’s title-winning squad at the 2022 event in New Zealand.

Molineux returns to the side after a knee injury sidelined her in December. She will likely miss Australia’s ODIs against India but is expected to be available for the World Cup.
