Hollie Pearne-Webb made her GB debut in 2014

Captain Hollie Pearne-Webb is set to win her 100th Great Britain cap when the Pro League starts this month.

The 32-year-old defender, who led England to Commonwealth Games gold in the summer, has played 96 games for GB.

They play the Netherlands and Argentina - the top two sides in the world - twice from 13-18 December, while the men face the same opponents from 14-19.

Flora Peel, Fiona Burnet and Jen Eadie could make their GB debuts in Santiago del Estero, Argentina.

However, Holly Hunt has withdrawn because of injury.

A fit-again David Ames returns to the men's squad, while Harry Martin is set to play his first international game since representing England at the EuroHockey Championships in 2021.

The uncapped Nick Bandurak, Nick Park, James Mazarelo and Stuart Rushmere have also been included.

Head coach Paul Revington said: "Argentina is one of the hardest nations to travel to and win hockey matches, not least because of the passion that comes from the stands and on to the pitch."
