Sornnarin Tippoch will lead an experienced 15-member Thailand squad in their first appearance at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia next month.
Thailand have kept faith in most of the players who won them qualification in the event in Scotland last year. The additions are Thipatcha Puttawong and Suwanan Khiaoto. Both these players were part of their squad for the recent T20 quadrangular series in India, also featuring Bangladesh.
Arriya Yenyueak missed out from among those in the qualifier squad. Phannita Maya, who did not feature in the quadrangular series, has returned for the tournament.
