Australia announce an ODI squad which includes Mitchell Johnson for the tour of England this summer.

Mitchell Johnson has been named in Australia's squad to face England in an ODI series this summer.

The fast bowler, who is recalled following recent surgery on his foot, is joined in the squad by fellow fast bowler Patrick Cummins.

Australia selector John Inverarity said: "Johnson is in contention for the World Twenty20 and needs some quality cricket.

"We are also excited about the return of Pat Cummins and we are looking to ease him back into the team."

Michael Clarke will captain the team which will include Brett Lee and all-rounder Steve Smith, who returns for the five-match series.
