Australia have named a 13-man squad to play the West Indies in the first two One-Day Internationals in Melbourne (7th February) and Adelaide (9th February).

From the squad that ended the series against Pakistan, Peter Siddle misses out due to injury while Adam Voges has been dropped.

Shane Watson and Doug Bollinger return to the squad after they were rested for the final two matches against Pakistan, a series Australia won 5-0.

"Two changes have been made from Sunday’s match at the WACA, with Shane Watson and Doug Bollinger returning after having their workload managed for the final two matches against Pakistan," National Selection Panel chairman Andrew Hilditch said.

“Adam Voges is extremely unlucky to be omitted from the squad after having limited opportunities against Pakistan. However with the returning players and the need to get the right balance in the squad of 13, Adam has unfortunately missed out on this occasion.”

Australia ODI squad: Ricky Ponting (captain), Michael Clarke (vice-captain), Doug Bollinger, Brad Haddin, Nathan Hauritz, Ryan Harris, James Hopes, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Shaun Marsh, Clint McKay, Shane Watson, Cameron White
