Brett Lee in Aussie one-day squad

NATHAN Hauritz, Brett Lee and Shaun Marsh have been called up to the Australia squad for the first Commonwealth Bank Series one-day international against England in Melbourne on Sunday.

While the trio, along with batsman David Hussey, have been given a chance to push for a World Cup spot, Callum Ferguson and Shaun Marsh have not been included.

Their omission throws into doubt whether the pair will travel to the competition in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka given the deadline for the naming of the World Cup squad is 19 January, two days before the second ODI.

In the absence of Ricky Ponting who is recovering from a finger injury suffered during the Ashes, the side will be led by Michael Clarke with Cameron White named as vice-captain.
