Cricket Australia has confirmed that Moises Henriques has been called into the squad for Friday's Tri-Series one-day international match against England.

The all-rounder has replaced Shane Watson, who has been ruled out of the encounter in Hobart with a tight right hamstring.

National selection panel chairman Rod Marsh said: "Moises is one of our leading all-rounders, he has international experience, and in Shane Watson's enforced absence it made perfect sense to draft him in for this match.

"The intention is to release Moises, along with Cameron White and Shaun Marsh, after the match as it is our expectation that we will have George Bailey, Mitchell Marsh and David Warner available for selection for our match in Sydney on Monday."

The Aussies have a 100% record in the contest so far, having beaten England and India.
