He had been in line to face New Zealand A early next month in Christchurch with also the possibility of a county deal. His chances to push his claims for an Ashes spot were touted by Western Australia coach Adam Voges, but now he has been sidelined although as yet without a time.

"I've never really focused on long-term goals, but I think being an England Ashes year and Dukes balls, plus being a left-armer as well there's an option to go down there," Paris said after the Shield final

"I've really just focused on playing great cricket for WA this year and then if opportunities come up and the right timing happens, we'll see what happens from there. But that [international cricket] is something I've always strived to get back to.

"It's been a while since I represented Australia and if that opportunity arises, I'll take it with both hands."

Peter Handscomb had originally been named in the squad but was withdrawn after signing a deal with Leicestershire.

Updated Australia A squad to face New Zealand A Wes Agar, Xavier Bartlett, Jordan Buckingham, Aaron Hardie, Caleb Jewell, Spencer Johnson, Campbell Kellaway, Nathan McSweeney, Mitch Perry, Jimmy Peirson, Matthew Renshaw, Mitchell Swepson, Tim Ward, Teague Wyllie
