Australia have named a 14-man squad for the one-day international series against South Africa and hosts Zimbabwe which begins later this month.
Captain Michael Clarke will lead Australia on their first tour of Zimbabwe in a decade, and will be able to call on spinner Nathan Lyon, who returns to the ODI fold after a two-year absence.
Batsman Phil Hughes, who made an unbeaten 202 against South Africa A last week, misses out but seamer Kane Richardson and all-rounders Mitch Marsh and Ben Cutting are included after their good form during the recently-concluded triangular series, which India A won.
Australia's chairman of selectors Rod Marsh said: "Nathan Lyon has done very well in Test match cricket, but first came under notice through his performances in short form cricket. He bowled well in last year's Ryobi Cup competition and having not played an ODI since early 2012, the national selection panel is keen to see him in action again.
"Ben Cutting has been in terrific form for Australia A and bowled his heart out. He also showed outstanding form in the Ryobi Cup competition last summer and has earned his spot.
"Kane Richardson has been bowling beautifully up in Darwin under Mark Waugh's watch and his figures have been terrific. We now want to see him continue that form for the national side.
"The thing we like most about Mitch Marsh at the moment is his bowling. He's capable of opening the bowling or coming on through the middle overs and can do so with good pace which is pleasing.
"It's the sign of a true all-rounder if they can be in the side for either their bowling or batting and he is certainly getting close to that, which is great for Australian cricket."
He added: "We would have loved to pick Phillip but it's quite difficult to find the spot for him with a strong batting line-up. He was in superb form during the recent Australia A one-day matches, including a stand-out double-century, and the NSP will certainly be continuing to watch him closely."
Australia will play Zimbabwe and South Africa twice in the round-robin stage with the 6 September final to be staged between the top two teams. All matches take place in Harare.
