Australia's Champions Trophy-winning one-day side will head to India with another new spinner after the Victorian Jon Holland was chosen for the seven-match tour. Holland, a 22-year-old left-arm orthodox, joins a 15-man unit that is missing the injured Michael Clarke (back), Brad Haddin (finger), Callum Ferguson (knee) and Nathan Bracken (knee).
Despite appearing in only a handful of senior games, Holland was tipped by Allan Border for a place on the Ashes tour and should gain some chances to impress in the series starting on October 25.
The Australian squad named on Friday to play a series of seven One-Day Internationals in India in October and November.
Squad: Ricky Ponting (captain), Michael Hussey (vice captain), Doug Bollinger, Nathan Hauritz, Jon Holland, Ben Hilfenhaus, James Hopes, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Shaun Marsh, Tim Paine (wk), Peter Siddle, Adam Voges, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
