The talented trio were named in the squad on Wednesday morning.
“We’ve assembled a strong 18-player squad at this time that we believe gives us the best chance of selecting a team capable of winning the Netball World Cup title on home soil,” Australian Diamonds coach Lisa Alexander said.
“Along with ANZ Championship performances, the panel has considered the Diamonds International High Performance requirements, Netball World Cup opponents and past international performances into squad selections.”
The Diamonds will take part in a three-day camp at Netball's Australia's Centre of Excellence in Canberra from May 5 to 7.
The 12-player Australian Diamonds team to contest the Netball World Cup from 7-16 August in Sydney will be named following the conclusion of the ANZ Championship season.
The full squad: Karyn Bailey, Caitlin Bassett, Erin Bell, Ashleigh Brazill, Bec Bulley, Tegan Caldwell, Julie Corletto, Laura Geitz, Kimberlee Green, Renae Hallinan, Sharni Layton, April Letton, Claire McMeniman, Natalie Medhurst, Kimberley Ravaillion, Gabi Simpson, Caitlin Thwaites and Khao Watts.
