Lee has recalled Surbiton's Ben Hawes and Rob Moore as well as defender Dan Fox - after the trio were rested for Great Britain's recent International Four Nations Tournament in Nottingham.

Loughborough Students' Richard Smith, who was originally named in the squad only to withdraw through injury, has been selected - as has 18-year-old Andy Bull after an impressive debut in Nottingham.

Reading's Richard Mantell and Surbiton's Matt Daly are still being treated for injuries sustained during and prior to the World Cup respectively.

The Champions Trophy gets underway in Mönchengladbach, Germany, on July 31 and runs until August 8.
