Thirteen-member Australian squad is ready for the upcoming ODI series against India. Pacemen Joel Paris and Scott Boland who made into the squad are all set for their international debuts. The series that will include five games is slated to begin on 12 January 2016 at the WACA in Perth.
Selection chairman Rod Marsh said, “Scott has continued to impress the selection panel, having bowled very well for Victoria this year.”
“He certainly deserves this chance at the top level.”
“Joel is an exciting young left-arm bowler who swings the ball well and has bowled beautifully in the Big Bash League for the Perth Scorchers. He has had very good figures in short-form cricket and we really want him to make the most of this opportunity.”
For the first time after one-day series against South Africa last year, Richardson returned to the Australia squad.
“Kane has had a taste of cricket at the international level and although that has been interrupted on occasions through injury we think he is ready to perform consistently for Australia,” Marsh said.
Squad: Steve Smith (captain), David Warner, George Bailey, Scott Boland, Josh Hazlewood, James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, Mitch Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Kane Richardson, Joel Paris, Matthew Wade
