Australia named three newcomers on Monday in their squad for next month's Champions Trophy field hockey tournament in India.
Kookaburras head coach Graham Reid gave call-ups to youngsters Tom Craig, Matthew Dawson and Flynn Ogilvie as Australia defend the title they won in Melbourne in 2012.
The trio made their senior international debuts against India this month and are part of an 18-man squad which contains 11 World Cup winners and 11 Commonwealth Games gold medallists.
Returning to the squad are prolific goal-scoring forward Russell Ford, who has been playing in the Netherlands and who missed the World Cup and Commonwealth Games with a calf injury.
Also joining up with the team from his Dutch base is experienced defender Fergus Kavanagh.
"We have increased our depth of experience since the India series with the addition of Fergus Kavanagh and Russell Ford, who have been playing in Europe," Reid said.
"We are using the Champions Trophy as another opportunity to expose our younger players to the rigours of international competition."
Among those unavailable for selection through injury are Mark Knowles, Joel Carroll, Kieran Govers and Jamie Dwyer.
Australia - Daniel Beale, Chris Ciriello, Andrew Charter, Tom Craig, Matthew Dawson, Tim Deavin, Russell Ford, Matt Gohdes, Jeremy Hayward, Fergus Kavanagh, Tyler Lovell, Eddie Ockenden, Flynn Ogilvie, Simon Orchard, Glenn Simpson, Jake Whetton, Tristan White, Aran Zalewski.
