Isaah Yeo will captain Australia at the 2026 Rugby League World Cup, with six players in line to make their Kangaroos debuts.
The potential debutants are Bradman Best, Jack Bostock, Blayke Brailey, David Fifita, Sam Walker and Jacob Preston.
The squad also includes Patrick Carrigan, Lindsay Collins, Reuben Cotter, Tom Dearden, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, Harry Grant, Keaon Koloamatangi and Liam Martin.
Latrell Mitchell, Mitchell Moses, Cameron Munster, Cameron Murray, Kotoni Staggs, James Tedesco, Tom Trbojevic and Reece Walsh complete the 23-player squad.
Thomas Jenkins, Hamish Stewart and Ethan Strange are the shadow players.
Trbojevic's selection brings him back to the World Cup stage nine years after his Kangaroos debut in 2017.
He was selected again in 2018 and played centre in Tests against New Zealand and Tonga in Auckland.
His latest appearance for Australia came in 2024, when he scored twice at centre in the Pacific Championship Final win over Tonga at CommBank Stadium.
He ended the 2026 season strongly for Manly, with late-round wins over Newcastle and St George Illawarra before a one-point defeat by the New Zealand Warriors.
Australia begin their World Cup campaign against New Zealand in Sydney on Thursday 15 October.
