Australia has brought back Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, and Mitchell Starc to its 18-man roster for the upcoming three-match One-Day International series in India.
Due to injuries, the three missed their recent trip to South Africa.
Travis Head, who suffered a fracture in his left hand in South Africa, has been replaced by Matthew Short, who is yet to make his ODI debut.
Aaron Hardie, Tim David, and Michael Neser were also absent, and all-rounder Ashton Agar is on paternity leave.
While pacer Spencer Johnson retains his spot, Marnus Labuschagne joins the squad after scoring an unbeaten 80 and 124 in the first two ODIs against the Proteas.
