Nottingham-born keeper Mary Earps has made the list
England head coach Sarina Wiegman has named a 23-player squad for this summer's tournament in Australia and New Zealand
England head coach Sarina Wiegman confirmed Bright would captain the team in the absence of injured defender Leah Williamson. "She's so positive and going well, but the timescale she had we would have taken so many risks to get to the World Cup," said Wiegman. Manchester City defender Steph Houghton, who captained England for eight years, has not been called up despite injuries in defence leading to some calls for her return.
"She is selected because of her performances. She was at Chelsea and didn't build that much credit because we hardly saw her play," said Wiegman.
