Melbourne, Sep 5
The seven-time Cricket World Cup winners Australia have named Alyssa Healy-led strong 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Women's Cricket World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, with Sophie Molineux making her international return.
Australia will finalise its preparations for the mega event with three ODIs against hosts India from September 14-20 in New Chandigarh and New Dehli, before opening its World Cup campaign against New Zealand in Indore on October 1.
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.
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).
