Highly-rated young all-rounder Cameron Green was Thursday included in Australia’s squad for their white-ball series against India, while Moises Henriques earned a recall.
Green, 21, was a surprise inclusion for three ODIs and three Twenty20s starting next month, with his call-up following a classy 197 in the domestic Sheffield Shield last week.

“Cameron’s domestic form has been outstanding and he has carried it through for Western Australia this summer,” said national selector Trevor Hohns.
“As a potential player of the future this is an opportunity for him to be part of the squad and build on his experience.”
Henriques was also a head-turner, brought in as an all-rounder to replace Mitchell Marsh, who picked up an ankle injury in the Indian Premier League.
He played his last one-dayer and T20 for Australia in 2017, but was prolific last season for the Sydney Sixers as they won the Big Bash League.
“Moises is a tremendous cricketer with loads of experience and is a great person to have around the group,” said Hohns.
