Everything you need to know about the teams battling it out for the 2022 Women's ODI World Cup in New Zealand

Australia

Australia recalled Amanda-Jade Wellington and Grace Harris for their bid to win a seventh Women's ODI World Cup but are without three key young bowlers due to injury.

Sophie Molineux was ruled out due to a stress fracture in her left foot, while fellow Victorians Tayla Vlaeminck (foot) and Georgia Wareham (ACL) are also missing the event.

Leg-spinner Wellington could play her first ODI since March 2018, and Harris her first since November 2016, after being included in the World Cup group.

Australia made a late change prior to their departure, with reserve player Hannah Darlington withdrawing to focus on her mental health, replaced by Tasmania allrounder Heather Graham.

First game: March 5 v England, Seddon Park, Hamilton

Squad: Meg Lanning (c), Rachael Haynes (vc), Darcie Brown, Nicola Carey, Ashleigh Gardner, Grace Harris, Alyssa Healy, Jess Jonassen, Alana King, Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Amanda-Jade Wellington. Travelling reserves: Heather Graham, Georgia Redmayne

Bangladesh

Bangladesh will make their ODI World Cup debut in New Zealand, having earned their spot at the tournament thanks to their ODI ranking, after the qualifying event in Zimbabwe late last year was called off due to COVID-19.

Experienced pace bowler Jahanara Alam returns to the group after missing selection in Bangladesh's main squad for the recent Commonwealth Games Qualifiers in Malaysia due to disciplinary reasons.

She is the only addition to the 14-player group Bangladesh took to Malaysia.

Appearing in the tournament is a significant step for Bangladesh, who have never played an ODI against Australia, England, New Zealand or West Indies.

Bangladesh squad: Nigar Sultana (c), Salma Khatun, Rumana Ahmed, Fargana Hoque, Jahanara Alam, Shamima Sultana, Fahima Khatun, Ritu Moni, Murshida Khatun, Nahida Akter, Sharmin Akther, Lata Mondol, Sobhana Mostary, Fariha Islam, Suraiya Azmim, Sanjida Akter

First game: March 5 v South Africa, University Oval, Dunedin

England

Defending champions England have named a strong 15-player squad, including eight members of the group that took out the 2017 title.

Leg-spinner Sarah Glenn is the notable absentee, having made herself unavailable for selection after being part of England's Ashes squad, while Maia Boucher is another omission from the Ashes group.

Allrounder Emma Lamb has been included after making her ODI debut in the third Ashes one-dayer, where she replaced Lauren Winfield-Hill at the top of the order.

Uncapped quick Lauren Bell has been included as a reserve after an impressive campaign for England A in Australia.

First game: March 5 v Australia, Seddon Park, Hamilton

Squad: Heather Knight, Tammy Beaumont, Katherine Brunt, Freya Davies, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Kate Cross, Sophie Ecclestone, Tash Farrant, Amy Jones, Emma Lamb, Nat Sciver, Anya Shrubsole, Lauren Winfield-Hill, Danni Wyatt. Travelling reserves: Lauren Bell, Mady Villiers

India

The biggest talking point following India's squad announcement was the players who were not included: Jemimah Rodrigues, Punam Raut and Shikha Pandey.

All three were part of India's ODI squad that ended Australia's 26-game winning streak last September, where Pandey's swing proved troublesome for the hosts.

But India have instead locked in a top four of Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Yastika Bhatia and captain Mithali Raj, who is appearing in her sixth ODI World Cup.

Veteran Goswami is playing her fifth ODI World Cup, and will lead an impressive pace attack alongside Meghna Singh, Pooja Vastrakar and Renuka Singh, as India hunt a maiden title.

First game: March 6 v Pakistan, Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui

Squad: Mithali Raj (c), Harmanpreet Kaur (vc), Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Yastika Bhatia, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh (wk), Sneh Rana, Jhulan Goswami, Pooja Vastrakar, Meghna Singh, Renuka Singh Thakur, Taniya Bhatia (wk), Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Poonam Yadav. Travelling reserves: Sabbhineni Meghana, Ekta Bisht, Simran Dil Bahadur

New Zealand

For the first time in two years, the White Ferns have a full-strength squad at their disposal for their tournament on home soil.

Suzie Bates made her return from a shoulder reconstruction last year, and Amelia Kerr and Sophie Devine are both back in the side after respective mental health breaks in 2022, while veteran quick Lea Tahuhu and former captain Amy Satterthwaite are both fit and firing.

The surprise omission was off-spinner Leigh Kasperek, who has been New Zealand's leading ODI wicket taker since the last World Cup in 2017, while 17-year-old left-arm spinner Fran Jonas will appear in her first ICC tournament.

First game: March 4 v West Indies, Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui

Squad: Sophie Devine (c), Amy Satterthwaite, Suzie Bates, Lauren Down, Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, Hayley Jensen, Fran Jonas, Jess Kerr, Amelia Kerr, Frances Mackay, Rosemary Mair, Katey Martin, Hannah Rowe, Lea Tahuhu

Pakistan

Bismah Maroof has returned from maternity leave to lead Pakistan's World Cup campaign.

Maroof had taken an indefinite break from international cricket after the birth of her first child and is set to play her first match since the 2020 T20 World Cup.

Allrounder Nida Dar will serve as Maroof's deputy, while Nahida Khan and Ghulam Fatima – who last played for Pakistan in 2018 – have earned recalls.

First game: March 6 v India, Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui

Squad: Bismah Maroof (c), Nida Dar (vc), Aiman Anwar, Aliya Riaz, Anam Amin, Diana Baig, Fatima Sana, Ghulam Fatima, Javeria Khan, Muneeba Ali, Nahida Khan, Nashra Sandhu, Omaima Sohail, Sidra Amin, Sidra Nawaz. Travelling reserves: Iram Javed, Najiha Alvi and Tuba Hassan

South Africa

A freak injury ruined South Africa captain Dane van Niekerk's ODI World Cup dream, with a fractured ankle ruling the allrounder out of the tournament.

Van Niekerk sustained the injury to her left ankle when she slipped on a wet surface at her home in Eastern Cape, and while she will not require surgery at this stage, she will be sidelined for at least three months.

It is a bitter blow for the leg-spin bowling allrounder, who overcame a torrid run of injuries to be named player of the tournament at The Hundred in the United Kingdom last year before impressing in her first season at Adelaide Strikers in the Weber WBBL.

Sune Luus will lead the side in van Niekerk's absence, while Anneke Bosch was a late withdrawal from South Africa's reserves due to a broken thumb, replaced by Andrie Steyn.

First game: March 5 v Bangladesh, University Oval, Dunedin

Squad: Suné Luus (c), Chloé Tryon (vc), Ayabonga Khaka, Lara Goodall, Laura Wolvaardt, Lizelle Lee, Marizanne Kapp, Masabata Maria Klaas, Mignon du Preez, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Shabnim Ismail, Sinalo Jafta, Tazmin Brits, Trisha Chetty, Tumi Sekhukhune. Travelling reserves: Andrie Steyn, Nadine de Klerk, Raisibe Ntozakhe

West Indies

West Indies have welcomed back experienced leg-spinner Afy Fletcher from maternity leave in a squad that will be captained by star player, Stafanie Taylor.

A 15-player group featuring five players uncapped at World Cup level, and three travelling reserves, is identical to the 18-player squad that recently toured South Africa.

The experienced Deandra Dottin will again be a key player for the Windies at the World Cup and is coming off good form against the Proteas, scoring 235 runs at an average of 78 from four games.

First game: March 4 v New Zealand, Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui

Squad: Stafanie Taylor (c), Anisa Mohammed (vc), Aaliyah Alleyne, Shemaine Campbelle, Shamilia Connell, Deandra Dottin, Afy Fletcher, Cherry Ann Fraser, Chinelle Henry, Kycia Knight, Hayley Matthews, Chedean Nation, Karishma Ramharack, Shakera Selman, Rashada Williams. Travelling reserves: Kaysia Schultz, Mandy Mangru, Jannillea Glasgow
