Litchfield impressed with the bat during three ODIs against Pakistan at the start of the year and the 19-year-old has won her way into Australia's touring party for the multi-format Ashes series that will be held in England during June and July.

The left-hander is the only new face to the Australian squad that won a record-breaking sixth ICC Women's World Cup title in South Africa last month, with all-rounder Heather Graham the player to make way.

Cricket Australia head of performance and national selector Shawn Flegler believes Litchfield has a bright future in the game and expects the talented youngster to perform with aplomb during the Ashes series.

"We've been fortunate to have a consistent side across all formats over the past couple of years and as a result we have selected a similar group to the squad which won the T20 World Cup in February," Flegler said.

"Phoebe Litchfield has taken her game to the next level in the past 12 months, we view her as a long-term player for Australia and it's pleasing to reward her progress with selection in an Ashes squad."

The Ashes series commences with the one-off Test match at Trent Bridge from June 22, before three T20Is and three ODIs over an 18-day period at the start of July conclude the series.
