England hockey squad: Chloe Rogers makes the cut
DUNMOW hockey star Chloe Rogers has been selected in the England women’s squad for the FIH World Cup in Rosario, Argentina at the end of August.
Manager Danny Kerry elected not to make any changes to the squad that finished an excellent third at the Champions Trophy in Nottingham last month.
Chloe, 25, said: “You can never take your place for granted so I still get nervous. It was a big selection as there is a lot riding on it and it’s one of the biggest competitions you can play in.
“I’m really pleased to be involved and want to ensure I’m still involved going into the Commonwealth Games.”
England, ranked sixth in the world, have been drawn in Pool B of the World Cup where they will fight it out with Argentina, China, Spain, Korea and South Africa.
