Glenn Maxwell has been recalled to the Australia squad for two T20 internationals in Sri Lanka.
Maxwell was dropped for the one-day international series after a run of under-par performances but he is named in the 13-man squad.
Big-hitting Chris Lynn - a renowned fielder - is also called up, and the squad will be captained by David Warner, with usual skipper Steven Smith given a rest by the selectors.
Australia's national selector Rod Marsh said: "Both Chris and Glenn are dynamic players who are both capable of winning a game on their own with the bat and they also bring that x-factor in the field."
Peter Nevill keeps his place behind the stumps, with Mitchell Starc - who recently broke the record for the fewest caps to reach 100 wickets in ODIs - Scott Boland and John Hastings the fast bowling options.
Moises Henriques and James Faulkner are the all-rounders, with Adam Zampa the spinner.
The first T20 match is on 6 September in Pallekelle, with the second three days later in the capital Colombo.
Squad: David Warner (capt), Aaron Finch, Shaun Marsh, Travis Head, Chris Lynn, Glenn Maxwell, Moises Henriques, Peter Nevill (wkt), James Faulkner, John Hastings, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Scott Boland.
