Australia's National Selection Panel on Monday announced a 14-player Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars squad for the four nation one-day international tournament in India next month.

The squad is:

Lisa Sthalekar (vice captain)	27	New South Wales	RHB, OB	54
Sarah Andrews	25	New South Wales	RM	6
Alex Blackwell	23	New South Wales	RHB, RM	31
Kate Blackwell	23	New South Wales	RHB, RM	20

Cathryn Fitzpatrick	38	Victoria	RF	102
Shelley Nitschke	30	South Australia	LHB, SLA	25
Kirsten Pike	22	Queensland	RMF	7
Leah Poulton	22	New South Wales	RHB	5
Jodie Purves	22	Queensland	RHB, WKT	8
Emma Sampson	21	South Australia	LHB, RMF	0
Clea Smith	28	Victoria	RM	33

Two changes to the squad that successfully defended the Rose Bowl trophy against New Zealand in October last year sees Alex Blackwell and Emma Sampson come in for Michelle Goszko and Julie Hayes.

Blackwell returns from injury and after a solid 2006-07 domestic season for New South Wales (137 runs at an average of 34.35) while the uncapped Sampson has been called into the Australian team for the first time.

The 21-year-old medium pace bowler took 10 wickets in eight games for South Australia this season at an average of 24.10.

"I was very excited to get the call from the selectors and I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to play for Australia," said Sampson.

Originally selected in the Commonwealth Bank Shooting Stars team to play New Zealand in February, Sampson's elevation into the senior squad paves the way for Victorian leg-spinner Jessica Cameron, 17, to join the Shooting Stars squad.

Australia will take on hosts India, England and New Zealand in the four nation tournament in Chennai beginning with its first match on February 21.

Australia's schedule for the tournament (as at January 29) is:

Player style key: RHB - right-hand bat, LHB - left-hand bat, WKT - wicket-keeper, SLA - slow left-arm orthodox spinner, OB - right arm off-spinner, LB - right arm leg break, RM - right arm medium, RMF - right arm medium fast, RF - right arm fast, LM - left arm medium.
