'Their omissions do not mean we won't look to them for the World Twenty20. Peter Siddle is an exciting young bowler and we are sure that he will be a good Twenty20 bowler in time, but we are keen to look at different players as specialist Twenty20 players in these two matches. In this instance we have selected Dirk Nannes following his strong domestic performances in recent seasons to have a look at him in the Australian set up,' he said.

Paine is the only new face in the squad and has performed outstandingly in the recent Australia A series and the selectors thought it was necessary to have a second wicketkeeper on tour.

'Tim has been picked not only because he is an excellent wicketkeeper but because he has opened the batting in this form of the game with great success, which gives us good versatility if Brad Haddin misses any of the ODIs,' Hilditch said.

ODI squad: Ricky Ponting (captain), Michael Clarke (vice-captain), Nathan Bracken, Callum Ferguson, Brad Haddin, Nathan Hauritz, Ben Hilfenhaus, James Hopes, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Tim Paine, Peter Siddle, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
