AFP, SYDNEY: Australia urged paceman James Faulkner to make the most of his reprieve as he was recalled Friday for the one-day tour to India, along with fit-again Nathan Coulter-Nile.

Faulkner, player of the match in the 2015 World Cup final, was surprisingly dropped for the Champions Trophy in June, but his experience in the subcontinent and in the Indian Premier League earned him a place in the squad.

“James is a solid one-day campaigner and is very familiar with subcontinent conditions, coming off a very good tour of Sri Lanka last year,” chief selector Trevor Hohns said.

“We hope that he will take his chance in returning to the one-day side.”

Coulter-Nile, who has recovered from a back injury, gets the chance to add to his 16 ODIs after impressive form in this year's IPL with the Kolkata Knight Riders.

“Nathan brings raw pace to the side with good variation,” Hohns said. “It is great to see him back from injury and we are hopeful he will have a big impact in this series.”
