Feb 7 (Reuters) - All-rounder Daniel Sams has been added to Australia's squad for their five-match Twenty20 International series against Sri Lanka, Cricket Australia (CA) said on Monday.

The 29-year-old, who made his debut for Australia in 2020, has played four T20Is, scoring 54 runs and taking four wickets.

Australia have rested opener David Warner and all-rounder Mitch Marsh for the series, while Josh Hazlewood is set to return after missing the final four Ashes tests with a side strain.

The series against Sri Lanka will be played from Feb. 11-20.

Australia will then play three tests, three One-Day Internationals and a T20 International in Pakistan starting on March 3.
