Flanagan back in favour for Hockeyroos

Anna Flanagan is back in the Hockeyroos set-up after her Rio Olympics selection snubbing.

Flanagan has been picked in the Australian women's hockey squad for the trans-Tasman series against New Zealand in Auckland next month.

She's also been chosen to take part in the International Festival of Hockey, where Australia will meet India in two matches in Melbourne, also in November.

The 24-year-old Flanagan was a spectator in Rio as the world No.1 Hockeyroos fell well short of expectations, eliminated in the quarter-finals by New Zealand.

The November series' will see Murphy Allendorf, Kalindi Commerford and Ashlea Fey make their debuts, while former captain Madonna Blyth departs having retired.

Seven of the Hockeyroos' 16 Rio Olympians have been included in the two squads announced on Wednesday.
