WEST Ham United captain Lucas Neill has been included in the Australia squad for the Socceroos' 2010 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifier Round Four match against Bahrain on November 19.

The 30-year-old national team skipper is in line to win his 46th cap in Manama, with Australia going into the game top of Group A, which also includes Japan, Qatar and Uzbekistan.

Neill is one of nine English-based players named in Pim Verbeek's squad, with Hull City's former Hammers' midfielder Richard Garcia and Southend United's on-loan Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici among them.
