Australia's selectors have announced the squad for the upcoming ODI and T20I series against India.

The 15-man team will play three ODIs starting October 19.

Uncapped batter Matthew Renshaw has been included in the squad, while veteran pacer Mitchell Starc is set to make his first appearance of the international summer.

Starc missed August's Top End series against South Africa due to workload management after returning from a West Indies Test tour.

He scored 305 runs at an average of 50 for Queensland last season and impressed for Australia A in July with scores of 80, 106, and 62 against Sri Lanka A.

Along with Renshaw, Matt Short and Mitch Owen have also been included in Australia's ODI squad after their strong performances in domestic cricket.
