Australia has announced the 15-man squad that will be seeking to win the nation's fifth ICC Cricket World Cup when the tournament gets underway in Melbourne in February, with Michael Clarke named to skipper the side as he continues his recovery from hamstring surgery.
The same squad will contest the Carlton Mid ODI Tri Series against England and India, which starts on Friday with the first ODI between Australia and England in Sydney.
Squad announcement: Clarke named, Harris left out
Injured skipper Clarke was named in a squad that did not feature too many drastic changes from the squad that took on - and beat - South Africa in an ODI series in Australia in November.
Australia first won the World Cup in 1987 before winning three consecutive trophies in 1999, 2003 and 2007. India won the last World Cup in 2011.
Australia: Michael Clarke (c), George Bailey (v), Pat Cummins, Xavier Doherty, James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, Brad Haddin, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Steve smith, Mitchell Starc, David Warner, Shane Watson.
