| Elmira Abikeyeba | Aigerim Aldanysheva | Mariya Astapenko | Anastassiya Begun |
| Oxana Ivanova | Olga Kolesnikova | Nadezhda Kondrakova | Alexandra Kovalevsyakya |
| Zalina Kurazova | Oxana Ossipenko | Anna Vinokurova | Tamara Yagodkina |
They both amassed double-digit scoring returns in China and should be the driving force behind the team's attempts to reach the top flight for 2019.
Their opponents will also have to be wary of Anna Vinokurova on the glass after she harvested almost 10 boards per game during the last edition.
Kazakhstan will start their promotion challenge on Sunday July 23 against Fiji.
