England have included five uncapped players for their Twenty20 series against Australia and Gus Atkinson, Harry Brook, Matthew Potts and Jamie Smith have been named for the one-day internationals.

Batters Jordan Cox, Jacob Bethell and Dan Mousley, and fast bowlers Josh Hull and John Turner are the uncapped players in the 15-man T20 squad.

Experienced batter Jonny Bairstow and all-rounder Moeen Ali were left out of both squads.

Atkinson, Brook, Potts and Smith will be part of the ODI squad after helping England win the first match in the current test series against Sri Lanka.

Seamer Brydon Carse, 29, will return to the senior squads after completing his three-month suspension from all cricket over historical betting on matches following an anti-corruption investigation by the Cricket Regulator.

England host Australia in a three-match T20 series, starting on September 11. The five-match ODI series begins on September 19. Wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler will captain both teams.
