The Cricket Australia National Selection Panel (NSP) has announced a 15-player squad for the ICC Women’s World Cup, which will take place in India and Sri Lanka. Australia will prepare for the tournament by playing three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) against India from September 14 to 20 in New Chandigarh and New Delhi. Their World Cup campaign will begin on October 1 against New Zealand in Indore.
Phoebe Litchfield, Georgia Voll, Sophie Molineux, Georgia Wareham, and Kim Garth have been selected in their first 50-over World Cup squad. Grace Harris may play her first ODI World Cup match during the tournament, having been part of Australia’s title-winning team in the 2022 World Cup in New Zealand.
Sophie Molineux is back in the team after being out with a knee injury since December. She will probably miss Australia’s ODIs against India but is expected to play in the World Cup.
