The St Johns alumna will headline Australia's six-strong team when plays gets underway in the United Arab Emirates.
"I'm absolutely stoked to be here," Bennett said.
"I didn't think I was going to be able to go, due to overseas issues - so it is an honour to be representing Australia here.
"There's some of the top golfers from the Asia-Pacific region, so I'm looking forward to testing myself, hopefully holding my nerves and doing my very best."
Having just arrived, the 21-year-old quickly acclimated to the Abu Dhabi Golf Club course, ahead of the November 10-13 competition.
"The course is just immaculate," the Mollymook Golf Club product said.
"Having now played two practice rounds on it, I really like it and feel it suits my game well.
"Off the tee is definitely one of my strengths and it seems being very positional off the tee is key off the tee here.
"A strong tee shot, should set me up for a good shot onto the green.
"If I stick to my processes and pro shot routine, I'm confident the rest will take care of itself.
"I can't wait to tee off and get the competition underway."
