When asked about the selection process, Neville – who won 59 England caps as a player but missed out on World Cups in 1998, 2002 and 2006 – replied: “It is going to be difficult, you know it and I know it. It is coming.
“We have spoken to the players about it, how we are going to do it, what is going to happen.
“Now is the time for me to probably be ruthless and put the best players on that plane.
“I thank them for what they have done for the past 14 months and the efforts.
“They have four weeks to stay fit, keep in form and keep charging forward – because the train doesn’t stop now.”
The Women’s World Cup runs from 7 June to 7 July and every game will be available to watch on BBC television and the BBC Sport website and app.
England begin their campaign against tournament debutants Scotland on 9 June. Group D also contains 2011 champions Japan and Argentina.
