All eight competing teams have named their squad for the 2013 ICC Women's World Cup, which gets underway on 31st January in India.

Reigning champions England and hosts India are joined by Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa and West Indies for the tournament which ends with the final in Mumbai on 17th February.

England are led by Charlotte Edwards, who lies third on the all-time run-scorers list in Women's ODIs, just ahead of India's Mithali Raj, who is playing in her fourth successive World Cup.

A number of players are competing in their third World Cup (there have been nine in all) while West Indies have named twins Kycia and Kyshona Knight. The only set of twins to feature in a World Cup to date were Alex and Kate Blackwell, who represented Australia in 2005.
