"After a lean period of national fixtures, the squad are looking forward to coming together for the first time since the ICC World T20.
"Despite some local and County players being unavailable for consideration for this series, we have brought together a very strong exciting side on the back of impressive individual performances in domestic, Regional and County Cricket."
