SYDNEY (Reuters) - Spinner Nathan Lyon has been recalled to Australia's squad for the trip to Zimbabwe after two years out of one-day international cricket but there was no place for in-form top order batsman Phil Hughes.

Hughes had pressed his case for a recall last week by setting a new Australian record for a "List A" match with a brilliant unbeaten 202 against South Africa in a quadrangular one-day A team series in Darwin.
