Tim Cahill has been named in a 35-man Australia squad ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Qatar.

The 28-year-old, who has not figured on the international scene in seven months, will figure alongside Blackburn's Vince Grella and Celtic's Scott McDonald.

Craig Moore, who earlier this year came out of international retirement, is also named in the squad as is Galatasaray's Harry Kewell.

Eugene Galekovic, Robert Cornthwaite, Scott Jamieson and Paul Reid have all earned first call-ups to the squad after catching Pim Verbeek's eye for their performances for Adelaide United in the Asian Champions League.

Victory in Brisbane would see Australia leapfrog Qatar at the top of their qualifying group.
