TEST spinner Nathan Lyon has had his one-day career resurrected by new coach Justin Langer with Big Bash bolter D’Arcy Short also named in the squad for a five-game series with England in June.

Tim Paine was confirmed as captain in the 15-man squad which includes veteran Shaun Marsh as a potential opening replacement for David Warner, with Usman Khawaja overlooked.

Young keeper Alex Carey has been picked and could yet play in the team with Paine, as both have the capacity to play as specialist bastmen.

Nathan Lyon has been given another chance in the ODI arena.

And despite slugging 277 runs in 10 games in the Indian Premier League so far this season, big-hitter Chris Lynn was overlooked for both squads.

Selectors have spoken to Lynn and it was deemed that while he can bat in the IPL, the shoulder injury which kept him out of the T20 tri-series earlier this year is still limiting his fielding ability.

Cricket Australia’s medical staff decided he was not ready for the rigours of international cricket just yet.

He will however get the chance to push his World Cup claims during the Australian summer.

National selection chairman Trevor Hohns confirmed Paine was a short-term ODI captain and a more permanent leader would be installed in “due course.”

Lyon also gets the chance to push his World Cup claims after a recall he has been calling for, having last played for Australia against Sri Lanka in Colombo in 2016.

“Nathan is our number one off-spinner and has excelled with the red ball, however he is not new to white ball cricket and deserves his chance to push for World Cup selection,” Hohns said.

Cris Lynn will have to wait to push his World Cup cause.

“England potentially have a number of left-handers in their side and we look forward to seeing what he can produce with the white-ball in English conditions.”

Dumped NSW batsman Nic Maddinson has earned a national call-up to the T20 side, which will be captained by Aaron Finch, with Carey named as his deputy.

Maddinson does not have a state contract, but has been a BBL star in recent seasons and earned a lucrative contract with the Melbourne Stars after opting to leave the Sydney Sixers.

Melbourne Renegades all-rounder Jack Wildermuth also gets a chance at his maiden national cap as part of the 14-man T20 squad, along with spinner Mitchell Swepson.

“The NSP hold Jack in high regard as young player on the rise,” T20 selector Mark Waugh said.

“He has shown excellent all-round skills at the first-class level, particularly with the ball in the Big Bash.

“We look forward to seeing what he can produce at the international level.

Nic Maddinson doesn’t have a state contract but that hasn’t stopped national selectors.

“Mitchell provides the captain with good variety and wicket-taking options.

“He competes very well and deserves his chance at this level,” said Waugh.

Waugh said Maddinson, who last played in the T20 team in 2014, could be “very dangerous” in the format.
