One-day incumbents Marnus Labuschagne and Cameron Green have both been left out. Labuschagne is currently in England playing county cricket with Glamorgan, while Green has expressed a desire to have a strong pre-season with WA and continue working on his bowling.

Labuschagne had cemented himself as a star in Australia's one-day side and was said to be "deeply upset" at having to miss the tour due to "logistical complexities".

Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell, David Warner, Steve Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Jhye Richardson and Kane Richardson have all confirmed their withdrawal from Australia's upcoming winter tours, leaving coach Justin Langer without seven of his best players four months out from the T20 World Cup.

Selectors today confirmed a final 18-man squad for the white-ball tours of the Caribbean and Bangladesh, which will act as crucial preparation for Australia's T20 side ahead of the World Cup in October and November.
