Molineux, who has not played since undergoing knee surgery in January, is part of the 15-player squad named by Cricket Australia alongside Darcie Brown (quad) and Georgia Wareham (groin) who have brushed off recent niggles to take their places in the squad.

Five players have been included in a 50-over World Cup squad for the first time, with Molineux and Wareham joined by Kim Garth, Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia Voll.

Bangladesh

Squad: Nigar Sultana Joty (c), Nahida Akter, Fargana Hoque, Rubya Haider Jhelik, Sharmin Akter Supta, Sobhana Mostary, Ritu Moni, Shorna Akter, Fahima Khatun, Rabeya Khan, Marufa Akter, Fariha Islam Trisna, Shanjida Akther Maghla, Nishita Akter Nishi, Sumaiya Akter

Uncapped wicket-keeper-batter Rubya Haider, who has represented Bangladesh in six T20Is, has been named in Bangladesh's World Cup squad.

The touring party also includes rising stars Nishita Akter Nishi and Sumaiya Akter, who were both part of Bangladesh's U19 T20 World Cup squad in January.

England

Squad: Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Em Arlott, Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Sarah Glenn, Amy Jones, Heather Knight, Emma Lamb, Linsey Smith, Danni Wyatt-Hodge

Nat Sciver-Brunt leads the team that includes former skipper Heather Knight, who is on the comeback trail from injury. England have opted for four specialist spinners in the squad, including a return for Sarah Glenn who was dropped for their 2025 home season against India. Also returning is Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who head coach Charlotte Edwards said "has been in good form in domestic cricket and she’ll bring dynamism and depth to our batting".

Omitted from their squad for the World Cup run are Kate Cross, Maia Bouchier and Alice Davidson-Richards.

"Conditions mean we have gone for the extra spinner and we’re lucky to be able to have such depth in this department, it’s fantastic to welcome Sarah Glenn back," added Edwards, who will lead the team into her first ICC event as coach. "It will be a huge challenge but we want to go as far as we possibly can in India and I believe that if we play our best cricket we can compete with anyone. We have a huge opportunity to go and do something special. ODI World Cups are the pinnacle of our sport, they only come around every four years and we’re so excited to get over there to start our preparation."

India

There was no room for Shafali Verma in India's World Cup squad, with the hosts electing to stick with Pratika Rawal at the top of the order following her recent success partnering Smriti Mandhana, while the more versatile Yastika Bhatia, who offers cover both at the top of the order and with the gloves, has been included.

There were no real surprises in the 15 players named - while Verma has fought her way back into the T20 side after being dropped last year, she has remained on the outer in the one-day format - while Tejal Hasnabis and Sayali Satghare were two members of the recent tour to England to miss out.

Fast bowler Renuka Singh and allrounder Amanjot Kaur have returned from injuries, however the latter will not feature in the ODI series against Australia that will precede the ICC tournament.

Squad: Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Smriti Mandhana (vc), Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Deepti Sharma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Renuka Singh Thakur, Arundhati Reddy, Richa Ghosh (wk), Kranti Gaud, Amanjot Kaur, Radha Yadav, Sree Charani, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Sneh Rana. Standby players: Tejal Hasabnis, Prema Rawat, Priya Mishra, Uma Chetry (wk), Minnu Mani, Sayali Satghare

New Zealand

Sophie Devine's swansong for the White Ferns will be something of a generational handover, with four players earning ther maiden call-up for a World Cup, having all debuted for New Zealand last summer. Left-arm spinning allrounder Flora Devonshire, batters Polly Inglis and Bella James and left-arm seamer Bree Illing are the next generation for the Kiwis, having displaced the likes of Fran Jonas, Lauren Down, Molly Penfold and Hannah Rowe in the 15-player squad for the tournament.

Devine, who announced earlier this year she would retire after this tournament, leads the side into what will be her and fellow veteran Suzie Bates' fifth ODI World Cup.

NZ coach Ben Sawyer said multiple players pushing for the same position had forced some tough selection calls. "Having to leave out the likes of Fran (Jonas) in favour of Flora (Devonshire) was a tough decision," said Sawyer. "We know Fran is a quality player and at 21 we believe she still has her best years in front of her.

"I can honestly say that in the four world events I’ve been part of with this group, we are the best prepared we’ve ever been. Having no international cricket in our calendar since April has given us the ability to work really hard on our physical skills in particular, which is something that could be the difference in India."

Squad: Sophie Devine (c), Suzie Bates, Eden Carson, Flora Devonshire, Izzy Gaze, Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, Bree Illing, Polly Inglis, Bella James, Jess Kerr, Melie Kerr, Rosemary Mair, Georgia Plimmer, Lea Tahuhu

Pakistan

Pakistan have included a fresh face in their World Cup squad, naming uncapped batter Eyman Fatima, who recently made her T20I debut in Ireland.

The 20-year-old batter was rewarded after impressing in Pakistan's domestic T20 tournament in May.

Star allrounder Fatima Sana will continue to lead the side, who will hope to improve on their recent results at the 50-over World Cup after finishing on the bottom of the table at the least three events.

Pakistan will play all their group-stage matches at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo.

Squad: Fatima Sana (c), Muneeba Ali Siddiqui (vc), Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig, Eyman Fatima, Nashra Sundhu, Natalia Parvaiz, Omaima Sohail, Rameen Shamim, Sadaf Shamas, Sadia Iqbal, Shawaal Zulfiqar, Sidra Amin, Sidra Nawaz, Syeda Aroob Shah. Reserves: Gull Feroza, Najiha Alvi, Tuba Hassan, Umm-e-Hani, Waheeda Akhtar

South Africa

Dane van Niekerk's hopes of returning to the international stage will need to wait, with the former Proteas captain overlooked in their 15-player World Cup squad.

Van Niekerk, who reversed her decision to retire from international cricket last month, was part of a pre-tournament training camp but South Australia have elected to stick to a familiar formula as they look to better their semi-final appearances at the last two 50-over World Cups.

Laura Wolvaardt will skipper her team at an ODI World Cup for the first time, leading an experienced group that includes the likes of Chloe Tryon, Marizanne Kapp, Ayabonga Khaka and Sune Luus.

Wicketkeeper Sinalo Jafta will be backed up by 17-year-old Karabo Meso, who will feature in her first senior World Cup after competing in two U19 women’s T20 World Cups in 2023 and 2025.

Young allrounder Miane Smit has been named as the travelling reserve, a role she also performed during last year’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

Squad: Laura Wolvaardt (c), Anneke Bosch, Tazmin Brits, Nadine de Klerk, Annerie Dercksen, Sinalo Jafta, Marizanne Kapp, Ayabonga Khaka, Masabata Klaas, Sune Luus, Karabo Meso, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Tumi Sekhukhune, Nondumiso Shangase, Chloe Tryon. Travelling reserve: Miane Smit

Sri Lanka

Co-hosts Sri Lanka have unveiled a squad with plenty of experience, led by veteran allrounder Chamari Athapaththu.

After the heartbreak of missing out of the 2022 tournament in New Zealand, Sri Lanka earned direct qualification this time around after a strong Women's Championship cycle and will benefit from matches on their home turf in Colombo, which was added as a venue due to Pakistan's need to play on neutral territory.

Athapaththu will be backed up by the experienced trio of Harshitha Samarawickrama, Nilakshika de Silva and Anushka Sanjeewani, while Kavisha Dilhari, Malki Madara, Vishmi Gunaratne, Imesha Dulani, and Dewmi Vihanga will inject youth into the team as they feature in their first World Cup.

Squad: Chamari Athapaththu (c), Hasini Perera, Vishmi Gunarathne, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi De Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani, Imesha Dulani, Dewmi Vihanga, Piumi Wathsala, Inoka Ranaweera, Sugandika Kumari, Udeshika Prabodani, Malki Madara, Achini Kulasooriya. Reserve: Inoshi Fernando
