The squad will be led by veteran Paul Schulte, who was part of that last World Championship-winning squad in Japan, while he also took part in the 1998 edition which also saw the US pick up gold.

He will be joined by the experienced Matt Scott, who is also a 2002 world champion, while Steve Serio is entering his eighth year with the national side.

All three were in London when the US secured bronze at the 2012 Paralympic Games as were Nate Hinze, Trevon Jenifer, Ian Lynch and Josh Turek, who will all be heading to Incheon for this year's World Championships which run from July 5 to 14.

John Gilbert, Ian Lynch, Aaron Gouge, Mike Paye, Brian Bell and Carter Arey complete the squad as the US looks to better their bronze medal from last time out in Birmingham in 2010.
