Australia men have recalled Travis Head for the three-match one-day international series against England.

The South Australian missed the Zimbabwe and New Zealand matches while on paternity leave.

He returns to the first squad in the post-Aaron Finch era, who retired from ODI cricket in September.

Pat Cummins leads the squad in his first series since being installed as skipper. The matches take place on November 17, 19 and 22 in Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne.

Attention then turns to the two-Test series against West Indies, starting on November 30 in Perth. Marcus Harris is included after backing up an encouraging county stint with Gloucestershire with two centuries and an 85 for Victoria in the opening weeks of the domestic season in Australia.

Harris' last Australia appearance came almost a year ago in January's Sydney Ashes Test before he was dropped, a move that saw Usman Khawaja promoted in the order in Hobart.

Scott Boland enjoyed a fine breakthrough against England last summer and is the backup quick bowler behind Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc.
