The exciting young all-rounder from Western Australia, Cameron Green, has earned a maiden international call-up. The 21-year-old has played only nine List-A matches and thirteen T20s so far. However, he has earned immense praise from the cricketing circles already.
Selector Trevor Hohns said:
A surprise inclusion is that of veteran all-rounder Moises Henriques who last adorned the green and gold in 2017. The selection comes on the back of a successful season with Sydney Sixers in which he amassed 267 runs from 14 matches at a strike rate of almost 150.
Hohns said:
Meanwhile, Mitchell Marsh, Nathan Lyon, Josh Philippe, Riley Meredith and Andrew Tye have been dropped from the Australian squad that toured the UK earlier in the summer.
Australia ODI & T20 squad: Aaron Finch (C), Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins (VC), Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Moises Henriques, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Daniel Sams, Kane Richardson, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa
