Jodie Cunningham has been named in England women's squad for the Rugby League World Cup in Australia.
Vice-captain Cunningham missed the tour of France earlier this year due to injury, but has been recalled for the tournament that takes place in November and December.
Captain Andrea Dobson will make her fourth World Cup appearance, while half-back Kirsty Moroney, hooker Lois Forsell, prop Emma Slowe and second row Emily Rudge are also included in the 23.
England begin their group stage campaign against Papua New Guinea on November 16 before facing Australia three days later and then the Cook Islands on November 22.
Head coach Chris Chapman said: "It's been extremely tough to select a squad of only 23 players to compete in this year's World Cup as all players have worked hard throughout the season for England and their respective clubs.
"We appreciate it is a big challenge against experienced professional players and it is one we are all looking forward to.
"It is a task that we believe we can achieve and all the players and staff have been working hard to ensure we are the best prepared team."
