There are four changes to the squad which beat France in sudden death extra-time to finish third in Dubai before Christmas with Natasha Brennan, Natasha Hunt (pictured), Sarah McKenna and Marlie Packer coming in.

“The girls made a good start in Dubai and since then they have been training and working hard to improve their performance,” said Middleton.

“The depth of our squad means that we have 12 players all capable of making an impact, which puts us in a strong position heading into the competition.

“This tournament will really help our preparations as we build with the ultimate aim of being in the best possible shape come August.”

England have been drawn in Pool C and will play fellow Dubai semi-finalists France, Japan and hosts Brazil.

England squad: Claire Allan, Natasha Brennan, Heather Fisher, Vicky Fleetwood, Natasha Hunt, Sarah Mckenna, Katy Mclean, Marlie Packer, Alice Richardson, Emily Scarratt (captain), Jo Watmore, Amy Wilson-Hardy.
