Coach Mark Robinson said:
"It's always an exciting time when any England squad is announced but especially when there are three newcomers included.
"Sophia, Kirstie and Linsey have all had outstanding summers domestically and impressed when they have been in and around the group. All three will bring something different to the squad.
"Everyone is looking forward to the challenges ahead and we can't wait to get out there and get started."
The tournament will be played in the West Indies and will be played between the 9th and 24th November 2018
