Experienced paceman Shaun Tait has been named in the Australia T20 squad for their upcoming matches against India.
Tait last played for Australia at the World Cup in India in 2011, but has been recalled after taking 10 wickets in eight matches for the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League.
All-rounder Shane Watson is also in the 17-man squad, boosting his chances of making the ICC World T20 in India in the spring, as are batsmen Chris Lynn and Travis Head and seamer Andrew Tye.
"Shaun Tait returns on the basis that he is the quickest bowler going around in Australia at the moment and he offers us that explosive option if we choose to use it," said National Selector, Rodney Marsh.
"Shane Watson has earned his recall to Australian colours through a combination of his experience - especially in short-form cricket - the all-round package he offers, and the fact he is bang in form at the moment, having put performances on the board for the Sydney Thunder.
"Chris Lynn, Travis Head and Andrew Tye have made irresistible cases for inclusion off the back of individual excellence in the KFC BBL and we are delighted to offer them the opportunity to push their claims for inclusion in the ICC World Twenty20.
"In terms of leg-spin, Cameron Boyce has once again impressed in domestic action and deserves his spot.
"Sadly we could not find places for George Bailey and Mitchell Marsh in the Twenty20 International squad but for both of them, and for others who have missed out on places in that line-up, the door is certainly not closed for selection for the ICC World Twenty20."
T20 squad: A Finch (captain), S Boland, C Boyce, J Faulkner, J Hastings, T Head, N Lyon, C Lynn, g Maxwell, S Marsh, K Richardson, S Smith, S Tait, A Tye, M Wade, D Warner, S Watson
