Australia have named Jake Fraser-McGurk as a replacement for the retired David Warner in a new-look squad for this summer's white-ball tour of the UK.

Warner, 37, retired from international cricket after Australia's T20 World Cup exit in June.

Fraser-McGurk, 22, was an unused reserve for the tournament but his form for the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League has caught the attention of selectors.

Australia begin their tour with three T20 matches against Scotland in Edinburgh, starting on 4 September, before a further three T20s and five one-day internationals against England.

Fast bowler Pat Cummins has been left out of the touring squad after coming to an agreement with selectors to manage his workload.

The 31-year-old signed a four-year deal with Major League Cricket side San Francisco Unicorns in June and is set to join up with the squad this month.

Joining Fraser-McGurk is the uncapped Cooper Connolly, with the 20-year-old taking a spot in the T20 squad vacated by the omitted Matthew Wade and Ashton Agar.

Mitchell Marsh will captain both white-ball squads.

Australia T20 squad:
Mitchell Marsh (capt), Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa
