Glenn Maxwell has been sensationally dumped from Australia's one-day squad for the five-match series against England with Queensland's Chris Lynn preferred in a 14-man squad announced on Wednesday.

Test wicketkeeper Tim Paine was confirmed as the ODI gloveman, unseating Matthew Wade, but selectors dropped a bombshell with the omission of Maxwell.

The Victorian had enjoyed a fine start to the Sheffield Shield season highlighted by a career-best 278 against NSW at North Sydney Oval but after being dropped during Australia's most recent one-day series in India he has once again been left out.

The decision is a blow for 29-year-old as Australia step up their planning ahead of their World Cup defence in 18 months' time in England.
