    The squad will be led by captain Sam Kerr, who is set to play at her fifth Asian Cup. Steph Catley and Ellie Carpenter were named vice-captains.

"The team is ready, focused, and determined to make the nation proud, and we look forward to sharing this moment with fans across the country," Montemurro said in an FA media release.
