Pat Cummins, Cameron Green and Cooper Connolly return to the squad having missed the most recent T20 Series against India.
Chair of Selectors George Bailey said: “The T20 side has enjoyed a long run of recent success which enabled the panel to choose a balance of players across the variety of conditions Sri Lanka and India may present.
“Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Tim David are tracking well and we are confident they will be available for the World Cup.
“This is a preliminary squad so should changes need to be made they will ahead of the support period.”
A squad for the three game T20 Series against Pakistan which precedes the World Cup will be named at a later date.”
