Lynn finally has a look in

Australia dropped George Bailey and Aaron Finch and called up newcomers Chris Lynn and Billy Stanlake in a 14-man squad Saturday for their five-game one-day international series against Pakistan starting next week.

Bailey and Finch along with all-rounder Hilton Cartwight were left out after playing in the Chappell-Hadlee ODI series against New Zealand last month.

Usman Khawaja, batsman Lynn and fast bowler Stanlake took their places.

"We believe this squad is an exciting combination that covers all bases for us over the course of the five matches against Pakistan," interim chief selector Trevor Hohns said.

"This is an extremely important series for us as we have the Chappell-Hadlee Series in New Zealand and in mid-year the ICC Champions Trophy, a tournament which we won in 2006 and 2009."

Hohns said the panel believed the time was right to bring Lynn into the national ODI team.

"Lynn is in superb form for the Brisbane Heat and although that is a different form of the game we believe it is right that we give him the chance to show whether he can convert his wonderful ball-striking ability to ODIs," he said.

SQUAD: Smith (capt), Warner, Cummins, Faulkner, Hazlewood, Head, Khawaja, Lynn, Marsh, Maxwell, Stanlake, Starc, Wade, Zampa.
