Olivia French and Jenny Dillon are the surprise inclusions in Ireland's team for the women's World Squash Championships in Stuttgart next month. French sealed her place by reaching yesterday's final of the Club Orange Westwood Open where she lost in straight games to another team member, Laura Mylotte.

Dillon's form and fitness have also impressed the selectors and Anna McGeever and Madeline Perry who are unavailable for the individual event in Stuttgart lose out.
