Australia Name Squad for ODI Series with England

World Cup winners Australia have named a 14-man squad full of new faces for the Royal London One-Day Series with England, starting at the The Ageas Bowl on Thursday 3 September.

2013 Elite International Cricket Academy recruit Ashton Agar is one of six new names in the squad with Middlesex batsman Joe Burns also named.

Seamers James Pattinson and Nathan Coulter-Nile are likely to form a major part of the bowling attack with Mitchell Johnson and Josh Hazlewood not considered for the squad due to their heavy workloads during the Ashes.

There is likely to be three other familiar faces when Australia take to the field at the home of Hampshire Cricket with former Hants players George Bailey, Glenn Maxwell and Shane Watson all named in the Australia squad.

As expected, Steven Smith will now captain Australia in all formats.

Tickets for the first ODI between England and Australia at the The Ageas Bowl on Thursday 3 September (2:00pm start) are extremely limited. For more information on tickets, please CLICK HERE.
