Nathan Lyon feels he's improved markedly since his last one-day outing for Australia and is ready to stamp his mark as a short-form player.

Australia's most successful Test offspinner was on Monday named Joel Paris' replacement in the line-up for the final ODIs against India in Canberra and Sydney this week, and was also included in the 17-man Twenty20 squad ahead of a three-game series later this month.

Lyon said he was feeling confident after some good performances with the Sydney Sixers in the BBL and wants to make the most of the opportunity to wear the green and gold for the first time since late 2014.
