April 27 (Reuters) - Hosts Canada added a touch of youth to an otherwise familiar roster for the 2015 Women's World Cup on Monday in a bid to build on the bronze medal won at the 2012 Olympics.
Captain Christine Sinclair and Diana Matheson, who scored the bronze medal-winning goal in extra time, were among those named to Canada's 23-player roster for the June 6-July 5 tournament.
A total of 15 players from the 2012 squad return for the World Cup, which opens with Canada versus China in Edmonton, one of six Canadian cities where games in the 24-team event will be played.
