Cummins, who will captain the team, is on paternity leave for the birth of his second child, but it was also revealed last week that he was to undergo scans on a troublesome ankle he carried through the India Test series.

Hazlewood, meanwhile, hadn’t quite recovered in time from the calf injury that ended his series but should be able to take his place in the one-day side.
The squad can be amended over the following month ahead of the start of the tournament.
“This is a balanced and experienced squad with the core having been involved in the previous one-day World Cup, the West Indies series, last year’s successful tour of the UK and the more recent Pakistan home series,” chair of selectors George Bailey said.
“It offers a variety of options for touring management depending on opposition and the conditions that may present in Pakistan.”
Australia will play a one-off ODI against Sri Lanka on February 13 before heading to Pakistan. They are grouped with England (February 22), South Africa (February 25) and Afghanistan (February 28).
The first semi-final will take place in Dubai on March 4 with the second in Lahore on March 5 following confirmation of the hybrid model due to India not traveling to Pakistan. The final will be on March 9, in either Dubai or Lahore depending on whether India qualify.
