Andrew Fekete and Cameron Bancroft are the new faces in the Australia squad to tour Bangladesh

Uncapped duo Andrew Fekete and Cameron Bancroft have been named in a new-look Australia squad for the upcoming Test tour of Bangladesh.

Australia will play two Tests in Bangladesh but will be without a host of former regulars following the retirements of former skipper Michael Clarke, Brad Haddin, Ryan Harris, Chris Rogers and Shane Watson.

And vice-captain David Warner also misses out due to injury, so there could be an opportunity at the top of the order for the 22-year-old Bancroft, who made 150 against India A in Chenni last month.

The inclusion of the 30-year-old Tasmania seamer Fekete is more surprising but the Aussies needed another pace bowler following the decision to rest Mitchell Johnson and Josh Hazlewood.

Fekete has played just 18 first-class matches, taking 62 wickets at 26.66, and will compete for places with Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Peter Siddle.

New skipper Steve Smith will lead a 15-man squad which also includes batsmen Joe Burns, big-hitting limited-overs star Glenn Maxwell and Usman Khawaja, who have all been recalled.

And there is also a return to the squad for slow left armer Steve O'Keefe, who replaces leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed.

Adam Voges will act as vice-captain in the absence of Warner.

National selector Rodney Marsh said: "The retirements of five players from the squad that went on the Ashes tour, as well as issues of injury, form and conditions, have brought about a major change in the profile of the touring party from the one that toured the British Isles.

"But with that change comes a fantastic opportunity for all the players going to Bangladesh.

"They are going as a young group with seven of the players aged 26 or less, and all 15 have the opportunity to kick on and, in the case of Cameron Bancroft and Andrew Fekete, kick off their Test careers and establish themselves as the core of the side for years to come.

"It is an exciting time to be involved in Australian cricket, with a new captain in Steve Smith, and a crop of hugely talented players alongside him, with the chance to forge a bright future for our national side."

The Tests will take place in Chittagong and Mirpur, the first of which gets under way on 9 October.

Australia squad: Steven Smith (captain), Adam Voges (vice captain), Cameron Bancroft, Joe Burns, Pat Cummins, Andrew Fekete, Usman Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Peter Nevill, Stephen O'Keefe, Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc.
