West Australian paceman Lance Morris joins Australian ODI squad for start of the series against Pakistan
West Australian paceman Lance Morris has been added to the Australian one-day squad for the start of the series against Pakistan.
And fellow emerging pacemen Xavier Bartlett and Will Sutherland will join the group later in the series.
Queenslander Bartlett is set to link up with the squad ahead of the second match of the series in Adelaide on Friday while Victoria’s Sutherland will be on standby ahead of game three in Perth next Sunday.
All three were capped earlier this year.
The injury-riddled Morris is in the frame to play his first international match since his debut series against the West Indies in February.
Josh Hazlewood is absent for game one in Melbourne on Monday as he is playing in the Sheffield Shield for NSW.
Matt Short and Jake Fraser-McGurk are set to open for Australia in match one with Travis Head and Mitch Marsh both missing for the births of their respective children.
The three-game series is an important part of Australia’s build-up to the Champions Trophy early next year.
