21 Feb Milicic names maiden Matildas squad

Ante Milicic has announced his first Matildas squad since taking the reins as interim coach.

Milicic named a 23-player squad for the upcoming Cup of Nations in preparation for the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France.

Australia host Argentina, New Zealand and South Korea in the three-nation tournament.
