Aaron Finch was appointed captain when Australia named its squad for the three-match Twenty20 series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates.

Cricket Australia said Friday that Mitch Marsh and Alex Carey will be vice-captains for the series starting in Abu Dhabi on Oct. 24.

Chris Lynn has recovered from a shoulder injury to be named in the squad. Lynn has scored 437 runs from six innings at an average of 87.40 in the current domestic one-day series, including two centuries and three half-centuries.

Lynn has "reminded us how explosive and powerful a cricketer he can be," coach Justin Langer said.
