Most of the squad which finished sixth in the European Nations Championship in September are included, the most notable exceptions being former captain Rachel Kohler and Karen Bateman, both retired from international competition.

Lynsey McVicker, vice-captain of the European squad in Barcelona, has been appointed captain, replacing Kohler, while Jenny Burke takes over the vice-captaincy.
