Batsman Adam Voges has been dropped as Shane Watson and Doug Bollinger return to the Australian one-day squad for the first two ODI matches against the West Indies next week.
Voges and injured paceman Peter Siddle who has a back stress fracture are out of the 13-man squad, making way for the return of all-rounder Watson and paceman Bollinger, who were rested from the final two matches of the ODI series whitewash of Pakistan.
"Adam Voges is extremely unlucky to be omitted from the squad after having limited opportunities against Pakistan," said selection chairman Andrew Hilditch.
"However with the returning players and the need to get the right balance in the squad of 13, Adam has unfortunately missed out on this occasion."
The first two matches of the five-match series against the Windies will be played at the MCG on Sunday and Adelaide Oval on Tuesday.
Australian squad: Ricky Ponting (capt), Michael Clarke (v-capt), Doug Bollinger, Brad Haddin, Nathan Hauritz, Ryan Harris, James Hopes, Mike Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Shaun Marsh, Clint McKay, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
