Nathan Lyon has yet again been snubbed from Australia's one-day squad as Australian selectors named Glenn Maxwell as the only spinner in a squad of 13 for the first three one-dayers against India starting next Tuesday in Perth.  
Meanwhile, Shane Watson's international career is hanging by a thread as the all-rounder was left out of the squad in a clear sign selectors are looking to the future.
Watson retired from Test cricket during the one-day series against England after last year's failed Ashes series campaign to focus on limited-overs cricket, but a poor showing in the Big Bash League for the Sydney Thunder was a good enough reason for selectors to leave the 34-year-old out of the squad. 
Lyon has made it clear he wants to play limited-overs cricket for his country, but selectors, for the time being, have found no room for him despite his success at Test and domestic T20 level.
It means Lyon will be able to play for the Sydney Sixers once the Sydney Test has finished and push his claims for an unlikely spot in Australia's World T20 squad. Maxwell was the only tweaker named in the 13, but there is no reason why Lyon cannot come into contention later in the series. 
Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner will lead the side containing fellow batsmen George Bailey, Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh.
All-rounder Mitch Marsh will add important firepower to the depleted bowling stocks, which will include uncapped fast bowlers Joel Paris and Scott Boland, who are the only new inclusions in the squad that will assemble in Perth on Friday.
National selector Rod Marsh said the two young quicks deserved their chance at international cricket.
"Scott has continued to impress the selection panel having bowled very well for Victoria this year," Marsh said. "He certainly deserves this chance at the top level.
"Joel is an exciting young left-arm bowler who swings the ball well and has bowled beautifully in the Big Bash League for the Perth Scorchers. He has had very good figures in short-form cricket and we really want him to make the most of this opportunity."
