Fast bowler Glenn McGrath [ Images ] was named on Monday in Australia's [ Images ] provisional 30-man squad for October's ICC [ Images ] Champions Trophy [ Images ] one-day tournament in India [ Images ].

Schedule: Champions Trophy

The 36-year-old McGrath, who has not played for Australia since January after taking time off to help his wife Jane in her battle against cancer, made a successful return to training in Brisbane [ Images ] last month.

A Cricket Australia spokesman said no decision had been taken over the timing of McGrath's return, with the Champions Trophy, the domestic Pura Cup competition and a triangular series in Singapore next month all possible options.

"The selectors have been talking to Glenn on a regular basis to discuss the most appropriate moment for his return," the spokesman said.

The squad includes six uncapped one-day players, Tasmania's Ben Hilfenhaus [ Images ] and Travis Birt, Doug Bollinger of New South Wales, Victoria's David Hussey [ Images ], Western Australia's Shaun Marsh [ Images ] and South Australia's Shaun Tait [ Images ].

Seamer Mick Lewis was recalled to the squad for the first time since he recorded the worst figures in one-day history of nought for 113 when South Africa [ Images ] beat Australia in Johannesburg in March after successfully chasing down a target of 435.

"There is a lot of experience in the squad which reflects the fact that Australia has been on top of the international one-day game for some time," chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch said.

Australia open their Champions Trophy campaign against a qualifier in Mumbai [ Images ] on October 18. The final 14-man squad will be named on September 7.
