Mitchell Starc to return for Australia in limited-overs series in West Indies

Mitchell Starc will return from a broken foot during Australia's limited-overs triangular series in the West Indies in June.

The left-arm seamer broke his foot during the inaugural day-night Test against New Zealand in Adelaide last November and missed the rest of Australia's summer programme.

The 26-year-old also used the enforced break to have surgery on an ankle injury that had been troubling him and has been gradually building his fitness after returning to training at the end of last month. 

"Mitchell has progressed very well in his rehab and the medical staff are confident he will be fit to play in this series," said chairman of selectors, Rod Marsh.

"It is extremely pleasing to have a bowler of his calibre back in the side."

South Australia batsman Travis Head has also been called into the one-day squad for the first time after an impressive domestic season in which he scored a double century in the domestic one-day competition, a Twenty20 century and was named first-class Player of the Year after scoring 721 runs.

That form led to him making his Twenty20 international debut against India in Adelaide in January.

"Travis has put in some match-winning performances in all three formats of the game this summer," added Marsh.

"He is an exciting young batsman with a bright future and if he gets his opportunity I have no doubt he will make the most of it."

Wicketkeeper Matthew Wade has also returned to the one-day side after missing the World Twenty20 for Test keeper Peter Nevill.

Test off-spinner Nathan Lyon has been given another chance having played just 10 one-day internationals in four years, while leg-spinner Adam Zampa, who impressed during the World Twenty20 in India, is included to exploit the expected turning wickets of the Caribbean. 

South Africa will also contest the triangular tournament that runs from June 3-26.

Australia: Smith (capt), Warner, Bailey, Coulter-Nile, Faulkner, Finch, Hastings, Hazlewood, Head, Khawaja, Lyon, Marsh, Maxwell, Starc, Wade, Zampa
