Opener Joe Burns, wicketkeeper Matthew Wade, spinner Aston Agar, all-rounder Marcus Stoinis and the pace duo of James Pattinson and Nathan Coulter-Nile were selected to the senior team for the ODI series against England and Ireland later this month by virtue of their fine performances in the ongoing Australia 'A' team's tour of India.
Australia's limited-overs series kicks off with a one-off ODI against Ireland in Belfast on August 27 followed by a lone Twenty20 International and five ODIs against England.
Australia’s 'A' team officials say they haven’t decided as yet whether the six players will leave Chennai directly for England or return to Australia before joining the senior team in England.
