Current Line (London)
The International Cricket council release the eight team squads as final for the tournament which will be staged in United Kingdom from 24 June to 23 July.
Australia who defend the title in captain-ship of Meg Lanning is the most experienced side of the tournament as they have experienced Ellyse Perry (all rounder) and 19 years old pace bowler Belinda, 32 years old Sarah Aley both will capped during the mega event.
England captain Heather Knight said: “It’s such a dream to captain England in a World Cup on home soil; it’s not something that many cricketers can say they’ve done and it’s a real honour. There’s so much potential in this group of players and the opportunity ahead of us is really exciting.
“I’m very proud of all the girls in this squad, as cricketers and people. We’re a young group but we’ve made massive strides over the past 12 months and everyone has worked so hard. We know it’s going to be a tough tournament – and we won’t go in as favourites – but backed by home support we’ll do our best to challenge for the trophy.”
England has won the pinnacle tournament both times it hosted it – in 1973 and 1993.
Pakistan has not been afraid to make changes and has got a new coach for the tournament, with Sabih Azhar replacing Kabir Khan. The Sana Mir-led side will be hoping that the experience of the likes of Bismah Maroof and Javeria Khan will hold the team in good stead.
