Fast bowler Mitchell Starc returned to the Australian ODI squad of 15 members for the three-match home series against India starting on October 19 with Mitchell Marsh to continue to captain the side in the absence of Pat Cummins.
Starc, who retired from T20 internationals last month, sat out the home ODI series against South Africa in August after returning from the West Indies Test tour with his workloads being carefully managed ahead of the Ashes. He last played an ODI in November 2024 in Adelaide against Pakistan.
Mitchell Marsh will captain the ODI team in the absence of Pat Cummins, who is continuing his recovery from lumbar bone stress in preparation for the Ashes.
Meanwhile, the squads were also announced for the first two T20Is out of five which will begin on October 29. Alex Carey dropped out of the T20 squad, with white-ball gloveman Josh Inglis coming in after recovering from a calf strain, while Nathan Ellis also returns following the birth of his first child.
