Fellow Sixers teammates Steve Smith retired from ODI cricket earlier this year, while Mitchell Starc continues to build towards the home summer.
Chair of Selectors George Bailey said:
“As we build towards the T20 World Cup the flexibility and depth shown in the West Indies, outside of the obvious results, has been a huge positive.
“The flexibility within the batting order and ability of bowlers to bowl in different stages of the innings were particularly pleasing to see.
“The smaller squad for a home series, along with the return of Travis Head and Josh Hazlewood, see some players not part of the squad for this Top End series, but all remain in the frame moving forward and we feel the entire group embraced every opportunity.
“We expect that to continue through this series, and the New Zealand and Indian series later this year, as we balance continued opportunities for players and the preparation for the Test summer.”
