world cup winners australia could arrive in england this summer with arguably the most fearsome pace attack in test cricket since the ferocious west indies sides of the 1980s less than 48 hours after claiming their one day prize, the aussies turned their attention on the summer's ashes series while captain michael clarke might have marked sunday's final triumph over new zealand by confirming his retirement from the 50 over game, his desire for test cricket success burns as bright as ever australia celebrate after winning the world cup in melbourne on sunday  clarke was still recovering from a day long champagne party with fans on the streets of melbourne when the aussies confirmed their squad to play a test series in the west indies before arriving in england for the start of the ashes in july and if alastair cook & co still have nightmare memories of the way they were blown apart by the pace of mitchell johnson as they suffered a 5 0 whitewash in australia, then there is a new nightmare to come australia could have as many as four bowlers who have all logged speeds of 90mph plus in their line up, with both johnson and his world cup pace partner mitchell starc in the squad world cup hero glenn maxwell is the glaring omission despite starring on australia's run to the final  they will be backed up by ryan harris, who misses the west indies trip to stay home for the birth of his first child but will then join up in time for the ashes while 24 year old james pattinson is also not on the list because he is currently out with a damaged left hamstring, he will also be monitored with the chance to be included in time to travel to england clarke will lead a side anxious to rub away bitter memories of their last ashes tour when they were beaten 3 0 in 2013 world cup batting hero steve smith, who averaged only 38 in that series, is a far improved batsman now and will be expected to get big runs david warner, axed from the early tests and sent away in disgrace after throwing a punch at joe root in a nightclub, will also want to make his mark on the series national selector rod marsh told cricketaustraliacomau: 'the test team has performed very well in recent times, but the big challenge is to do that away from home 'we believe this squad has sufficient depth for these important test matches against the west indies and england and will give us the best chance of success' two players who starred in the world cup campaign, glenn maxwell and james faulkner, were tipped for the squad but have missed out mitchell johnson's pace bowling terrorised england as australia ran out 5 0 victors last year  'adam voges and fawad ahmed had sensational seasons at domestic level and their performances just couldn't be ignored they thoroughly deserve their call up and the opportunity to be a part of this squad we believe that both can play important roles in the side if required 'adam had one of the great seasons in sheffield shield history he is an experienced player and quality character who will add talent and leadership to the touring party 'fawad has worked incredibly hard on his game and has demonstrated throughout the season that he can be a consistent wicket taker 'peter nevill has been on our radar for some time and deserves his opportunity through weight of runs and performances behind the stumps he has also demonstrated impressive leadership qualities which have caught our eye' michael clarke (capt) age 33  caps 108  verdict age has not diminished his class, as he proved in the world cup final but his dodgy back could be an issue in a five test series should out captain alastair cook once more david warner  age 28  caps 36  verdict could win a test or two by himself if he bats for a couple of sessions moeen ali’s off breaks will be crucial in pinning him down likes to say a word or two shane watson  age 33  caps 56  verdict has a decent record in ashes cricket, but has never reached the stage where he frightens england but his medium pace balances australia’s team in a way cook can only envy shaun marsh  age 31  caps 12  verdict a gritty left hander, and son of former test opener geoff began test career with 141 in sri lanka in 2011, but success has been sporadic since then cv includes six ducks mitchell johnson  age 33  caps 64  verdict if england haven’t got over the trauma of the 2013 14 series, when johnson took 37 wickets at 13 apiece, the ashes will stay with australia josh hazlewood  age 24  caps 3  verdict one of a batch of promising australian fast bowlers, he proved economical beyond his years during the successful world cup campaign a flawless action bodes well james faulkner  age 24  caps 1  verdict played his only test to date at the oval in 2013, where he got up england’s noses by accusing them of boring batting a left arm seam bowling all rounder, he can give the ball an almighty whack james pattinson  age 24  caps 13  verdict injuries have limited him since he burst on to the scene in 2011 12, but the talent is undeniable: tall, aggressive and fast, he should trouble england more than his brother, darren, when playing for england in a single test against south africa in 2008 peter siddle  age 30  caps 56  verdict the banana loving seamer is a veteran of two ashes tours, and could provide relentless accuracy while the quicker bowlers fire around him kevin pietersen, for one, found him almost impossible to score off in 2013 14 brad haddin (wkt) age 37  caps 63  verdict australia’s second most important cog in their 5 0 ashes wheel in 2013 14, after mitchell johnson his sledging from behind the stumps is considered the heartbeat of the team chris rogers  age 37  caps 20  verdict this will be his last hurrah in a late blooming test career calm, compact and the perfect foil for the exuberance of his opening partner warner steve smith (vice captain) age 25  caps 26  verdict one of world cricket’s rising stars, he scored four tons in australia’s recent home series against india will captain the side full time after clarke retires, and can burgle the odd wicket with his leg spin nathan lyon  age 27  caps 39  verdict a steady off spinner who troubled england’s right handers  during whitewash but, really, they should have nothing to fear mitchell starc  age 25  caps 15  verdict another left arm seamer, and man of the tournament at the world cup his yorkers are as dangerous in tests as they are in odis, and  accuracy and pace have improved ryan harris  age 35  caps 27  verdict if he can drag his injury laden body through one final series, australia will be thrilled he was an unsung star during their 3 0 defeat here two years ago, and produced the ball of the series to bowl cook in perth josh hazlewood  age 24  caps 3  verdict one of a batch of promising australian fast bowlers, he proved economical beyond his years during the successful world cup campaign a flawless action bodes well fawad ahmed  age 33  caps 20  verdict the pakistan born leg spinner has played only three one day internationals and two twenty20 games for australia, so would represent a risk but australian leggies have done well in england before…  michael

chosen as the reserve wicketkeeper behind his new south wales team mate haddin, although he has also played as a specialist batsman for his state team unlikely to get a game unless haddin breaks a
