Captain Sam Daly, goalkeeper Samantha Campbell and Wagga recruit Jackleene MacArthur are set to tour Hong Kong and China with the squad next March.
Daly and Campbell impressed for Victoria Country, while MacArthur was a standout for the Australian Defence Force at this year's Australian Country Championships in Shepparton.
"I think when you go there, you're trying to play as well as you can within your team and if you happen to also get selected (for Australia Country) it's a good indicator of how you played in the tournament," Campbell said.

Campbell is thrilled to be picked alongside her two club mates.
"They're (Daly and MacArthur) both really consistent players and that's part of their consistent selection in that team," she added.
"Jackleene is in the leadership group this year with Sam and I think that's a testament to both of them."
The Spitfires close their Capital League campaign against St Patrick's at Canberra's Kjar Field today.
Campbell is hopeful the team can finish on a high with its fifth win.
"We've just had a season where we've been inconsistent with players, which has been hard," she said.
"Hopefully next year everyone's keen to play, I think there's a fair bit of potential in the younger ones."
The Spitfire men head to Canberra's Carter Field for their final game against United.
