Sydney: Three Indians, including former captain Mithali Raj, figured in the team of the tournament of the ICC Women's World Cup announced on Tuesday.

Fast bowler Amita Sharma and wrist spinner Priyanka Roy were the other two Indians who found place in the World XI team. Skipper of the Cup-winning English side and ICC Women's Player of the Year in 2008, Charlotte Edwards was named captain of the 12-woman world team.

Not surprisingly, players from the winning side made up most of the team but in total four of the eight competing teams in the March 7 to 22 event are represented.

Five of the team are from champion England while losing finalist New Zealand has provided three, including the 12th woman. Third-placed India has three and fourth-placed Australia has one representation.

The world team was selected by a specially assembled panel of experts, headed by former Australia captain Belinda Clark, which had also picked the player of the tournament.

The side includes five specialist batters -- Suzie Bates, Shelley Nitschke, Claire Taylor, Mithali Raj and Charlotte Edwards -- an all-rounder in Kate Pulford while Sarah Taylor has been picked as wicketkeeper/batter.

The four bowlers include wrist spinner Priyanka Roy and off-spinner Laura Marsh and fast bowlers Katherine Brunt and Amita Sharma.
