Jones called up five new players for his current training camp in Monterrey, Mexico and three earned final selection.
Attackers Tori Paul, Brianna Austin and Jolie St Louis are in. Goalkeeper Makida Herbert and forward Edna Konte did not make the final cut.
Paul and Herbert are former Trinidad and Tobago national youth team players, while Austin and St Louis would make their international debuts if they feature at the W Championship.
Trinidad and Tobago open their campaign on 5 July against Canada before facing Costa Rica and Panama on 8 and 11 July respectively. The top two teams from the four nation group will advance to the Australia/ New Zealand 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup while the third placed team enters a Fifa Playoff.
