Four New faces in Australia T20 squad for Sri Lanka

Sydney: Big-hitting Chris Lynn was named Wednesday in Australia's squad for their Twenty20 series against Sri Lanka despite injury worries, with four uncapped players also included.

Lynn was a dominant force for Brisbane Heat in the just-finished Big Bash League (BBL) but is still recovering from a neck injury and faces further fitness tests ahead of the opening clash in Melbourne on February 17.

With captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner rested ahead of the upcoming Test tour of India, Billy Stanlake, Jyhe Richardson and Ashton Turner are in line for their international debuts.

Aaron Finch leads the squad as they look to improve Australia's current Twenty20 ranking of sixth in the world.

Michael Klinger is in line for an international debut at the age of 36 after being named in Australia's T20 squad to take on Sri Lanka in three matches this month.

Wicketkeeper Tim Paine returns, adding experience to the team.

Australia play Sri Lanka in Melbourne on February 17, in Geelong on February 19 and then Adelaide on February 22.

Australia: Aaron Finch (capt), Patrick Cummins, James Faulkner, Travis Head, Moises Henriques, Michael Klinger, Chris Lynn, Tim Paine, Jhye Richardson, Billy Stanlake, Ashton Turner, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa.
