Veteran wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has been recalled to Australia's test squad as Michael Clarke's deputy to fill a leadership void for the Ashes tour to England.
The 35-year-old Haddin has been rushed back after Shane Watson quit as vice-captain in the wake of Australia's disastrous 4-0 test series loss in India.
Current test keeper Matthew Wade was retained in the 16-man squad which contains seven specialist batsmen, including 35-year-old Chris Rogers after a five-year absence.
Nathan Lyons is the only spin bowler among a strong assembly of pace bowlers including Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, James
Pattinson, Ryan Harris and newcomers Jackson Bird and James Faulkner.
Mitchell Johnson and Ben Hilfenhaus missed out.
Australia will play England in 10 consecutive tests, commencing with a five-match series in England starting July 10.
