Calcutta/Melbourne: Australia have named uncapped all-rounder Hilton Cartwright and thrown Glenn Maxwell a lifeline in a 14-member squad for a three-match one-day International series against New Zealand next month.

Selectors have also recalled front-line pace bowlers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood after the pair were omitted from an under-strength squad humiliated 0-5 during their tour of South Africa.

Western Australia all-rounder Cartwright, who was born in Zimbabwe, impressed during the recent Australia A series against India in Queensland.

Interim chairman of selectors Trevor Hohns said on Wednesday they had been watching the 24-year-old's development.

"Hilton bowls useful aggressive medium-pace and is a very good striker of the ball," said Hohns in a media release.

"He is an exciting young prospect for Australian cricket and we have been watching him at the pathway level for some time now."

In the Quadrangular A series, Cartwright posted scores of 20, 81, 65 and 9 opening the batting against international-calibre bowling attacks, before he notched 117 in a first-class match against India A in September.

Mercurial all-rounder Maxwell returns from the international wilderness after being ignored for the tour of South Africa following a lean run with the bat.

Maxwell has not played an ODI since June against the West Indies in Bridgetown after he was dropped for the 50-over series against Sri Lanka and South Africa.

The dynamic all-rounder bounced back with a stunning 145 n.o. in a T20 International against Sri Lanka in Pallekele two months ago, and has been steady with Victoria this domestic season.
