Left-arm spinner Jonas (9 ODIS and 12 T20Is), batter Plimmer (2 ODIs and 10 T20Is) and keeper Izzy Gaze (3 ODIs and 10 T20Is) have a combined 46 caps worth of senior international experience.

The squad also includes a number of players who impressed on the just-concluded New Zealand Women's Development tour of India and the recent National Under-19 tournament.

An NZC release said a captain would be named in due course.

""I think we've got a strong squad for this World Cup with a nice mix of youth and experience," McGlashan said. "For many of the players, this will be their first time travelling overseas to play cricket, so they'll certainly benefit from the experience of Fran, Georgia and Izzy, the natural leaders in this group."

New Zealand squad for Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup: Olivia Anderson, Anna Browning, Kate Chandler, Natasha Codyre, Isabella Gaze, Antonia Hamilton, Abigail Hotton, Breearne Illing, Fran Jonas, Kayley Knight, Paige Loggenberg, Emma McLeod, Georgia Plimmer, Izzy Sharp, Tash Wakelin.
