Australia has recalled allrounder Mitch Marsh and Glenn Maxwell for one-day international and Twenty20 tour of South Africa. Marsh last featured in an Australian side in Ashes series last September. He hasn't played an ODI since January 2018 or a T20 international since October 2018. Maxwell last played for Australia in October before taking a break from cricket, citing mental health issues. He returned to action in BBL for Melbourne Stars.

On Tuesday, Marcus Stonis was named Big Bash League's domestic player of tournament, but he was left out of both squads. "Marcus Stoinis is a stand-by player for each squad and was unlucky to miss out due to make-up of current top order," selector Trevor Hohns said in a statement Tuesday. "It is terrific to have a back-up player of his caliber in such good form."

Pacemen Sean Abbott and Jhye Richardson were named in T20 squad and Matw Wade was included in both. Australia will play three T20s against South Africa  on Feb. 21, 23 and 26  before three one-dayers on Feb. 29, March 4 and March 7.

Australian squads

One-day: Aaron Finch (captain), Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Ashton Agar, Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Kane Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Matw Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.

T20: Aaron Finch (captain), Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Matw Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.
