Test opener David Warner has rewarded for his outstanding form with a recall to the Australian one-day cricket squad.
Omitted from the one-day series that followed this year’s Ashes tour in England and also the subsequent ODI tour to India in October, Warner was included in a 14-man squad named on Tuesday for the first three matches of the five-match ODI series against England in January.
It follows his brilliant form for NSW in the domestic one-day competition and also in the victorious Ashes series which Australia leads 4-0 going into the final Test at the SCG from Friday.
Fast bowler James Pattinson, returning from injury, is also included in the ODI squad and should form a lethal combination with Mitchell Johnson.
Pattinson made a successful return with the Melbourne Renegades in their Twenty20 Big Bash win over Brisbane Heat on Monday night, taking 3-36 off his four overs.
Skipper Michael Clarke and Shaun Marsh are also back after missing the India tour with injury.
Warner comes in the expense of Phil Hughes while Adam Voges, Moises Henriques and Callum Ferguson have lost their places from the India one-day squad.
“David Warner has won back his place in the Australia ODI squad with his outstanding recent form, not least in the domestic Ryobi One-Day Cup competition that was held in September and October in Sydney,” said national selector John Inverarity.
“We believe this is a well-balanced squad that can build on the promising form displayed in our most recent limited overs series against England and India.”
The first one-day match is Jan 12 at the MCG.
ODI squad: Michael Clarke (c), George Bailey (vc), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Xavier Doherty, James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, Brad Haddin, Mitchell Johnson, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Clint McKay, James Pattinson, David Warner, Shane Watson.
