Lindsay has an early big decision to make in naming an interim captain in the absence of regular skipper Simone Magill. There are a number of players who have worn the armband in recent years when Magill has been absent through injury. The experienced Nadene Caldwell was captain in the two-legged Nations League play-off defeat by Iceland in October. Although it is a young squad, there are evidently a number of experienced and consistent performers who could lead the team out against Switzerland. Lindsay could also adopt the approach that men's manager Michael O'Neill has gone for in sharing the armband around for this double-header.
