Middlesex captain Adam Voges and Pakistan-born spinner Fawad Ahmed have been included in Australia's 17-man squad to play England this summer.

Fawad, 33, is selected as the second spinner ahead of Ashton Agar, who broke the record for the highest score by a Test number 11 against England in 2013.

Voges, 35, was voted the Sheffield Shield Player of the Year, having made 1,358 runs at an average of 104.46.

The first Ashes Test begins in Cardiff on Wednesday, 8 July.

Prior to that, Australia will play a two-match series against West Indies, beginning on 5 June.

Adam Voges and Fawad Ahmed had sensational seasons at domestic level and their performances just couldn't be ignored," said national selector Rod Marsh. 

We believe that both can play important roles in the side if required.

The first Ashes Test begins in Cardiff on Wednesday, 8 July.

Australia depart for the West Indies on May 19 and play their first Test on June 5. The opening Test of the Ashes series starts in Cardiff on Wednesday July 8.
