The Australians have decided to rest Ricky Ponting, fast bowler Mitchell Johnson and Shane Watson for the three-match ODI series against India at the end of the current Test series. The 14-member side will be led by Michael Clarke and will see the three ODIs being played on October 17, 20 and 24 games in India. 
Cameron White will be the deputy to Clarke, while the side will see the return of Callum Ferguson. Ferguson had had a knee reconstruction and was out of competitive cricket for a year.
Australia’s bowling will be led by Doug Bollinger, while Clint McKay, and have James Pattinson, and Mitchell Starc as their four main bowlers.
The players were afforded a break in order to maintain their work balance over the next six months leading up to the World Cup to be played in India. The absence of the frontline players means that the rest of the players will have a huge responsibility on their shoulders.
Dave Warner should open the innings along with either wicket-keeper Tim Paine or Shaun Marsh, but there is no place for Adam Voges or David Hussey.
Australia squad: Michael Clarke (c), Cameron White (vc), Doug Bollinger, Callum Ferguson, Nathan Hauritz, James Hopes, Mike Hussey, Shaun Marsh, Clint McKay, Tim Paine, James Pattinson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc and David Warner.
