On Friday, September 5, Cricket Australia National Selection Panel (NSP) has announced a 15-player squad for the upcoming ICC Women’s World Cup, which is set to be played in India and Sri Lanka.

Ahead of the mega event, Australia will take on India in the three One-Day Internationals against hosts, India, from 14-20 September in New Chandigarh and New Delhi, before opening its World Cup campaign against New Zealand in Indore on October 1.

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.

All-rounder Molineux makes her comeback to the side after a knee injury sidelined her in December. Though she will miss Australia’s ODIs against India, but is expected to be available for the World Cup.

National Selector, Shawn Flegler, said:

“A World Cup in India is one of cricket’s biggest assignments, but we believe this group is up for the challenge. The valuable experience the squad has gained from several sub-continent tours in recent years, as well as exposure through the Women’s Premier League will be beneficial in tackling the unique demands of Indian conditions.

“Across the winter we’ve seen some terrific performances right through the group - whether that be through the Australia A series, The Hundred or domestic cricket in England - with players personalising their preparations which looks to have put them in good stead.

“Nicole Faltum and Charli Knott continue to impress and will join the squad for the three ODIs as part of their ongoing development, before returning home for the opening rounds of the WNCL. The extended nature of an ODI World Cup can be a challenge, and we believe this group has the depth and versatility to meet those demands.”
