The 46-Test veteran Siddle hasn't played a domestic one-dayer since February 2012 and his last one-day international appearance was in 2010.

Victoria will be led by new skipper Matthew Wade, who has been replaced in Australia's ODI side by NSW gloveman Brad Haddin for the tour of India in October.

"We're excited to have (spinner) Jon Holland back from extended injury and Peter Siddle, who is keen to explore opportunities to further represent his country in the World Cup next summer," Victoria coach Greg Shipperd said.
