The Australian Rugby League Commission has selected the following players to represent the Australian Kangaroos in the 2016 Downer Test Match.
Four debutants – wingers Semi Radradra and Blake Ferguson and interchange players Josh McGuire and Michael Morgan – will play against the New Zealand Kiwis at Newcastle's Hunter Stadium on Friday, May 6.
The match will mark Mal Meninga's first match as coach of the Kangaroos.
"This is a well-balanced squad and I'm extremely happy with it," Meninga said.
"We have some experience as well as a handful of younger players who I am looking forward to seeing in this arena.
"It is the fourth most experienced line-up in Australia's Test history but there will also be four players making their debuts.
"This is an incredibly important game for this group. I want to ensure the players have pride in the national jumper and my goal is to establish the Kangaroos back at the top of the international rankings.
"We have a Four Nations tournament at the end of this year and then a World Cup in 2017. This is the start of an important journey for the Kangaroos."
*Michael Jennings was named 19th man but has since withdrawn from the squad. There are no plans to replace Jennings in the squad.
