” It’s always tough to constrict a team down to just 15 players, but we are confident we have picked a well-balanced side,” said public chooser Shawn Flegler.
“Seeing Meg and Georgia back in action for Victoria has been instigative. Both bring a wealth of experience to the group, which is always pivotal during major events.
“Georgia in particular, has had a tough run of injuries, but she’s shown a great deal of adaptability and her return is a real boost for the side.”
Australia will begin their World Cup defence on February 12 against New Zealand before pool games against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and South Africa.
Australia will warm- up with home T20 and one- day series against Pakistan before travelling to South Africa.
