Australia Call in Handscomb for England ODIs

London: Batsman-wicketkeeper Peter Handscomb and one-test all-rounder John Hastings have been called into Australia's injury-hit squad for the remainder of the one-day international series against England.

The England-based pair reinforce a squad that has lost opening batsman David Warner, all-rounder Shane Watson and paceman Nathan Coulter-Nile to injuries in recent days.

The 24-year-old Handscomb, an opening batsman yet to be capped in international cricket, has been playing for English county side Gloucestershire.

Hastings, 29, has padded up for Durham and returns to the one-day squad four years after the last of his 11 ODIs against Sri Lanka in Colombo.

The pair's call-up follows the inclusion of Yorkshire-based opener Aaron Finch to replace Warner on Saturday.

Australia will bid to seal the five-match series in the third game in Manchester on Tuesday.
