Sheens names Kangaroos squad for Four Nations

Brisbane Broncos half Ben Hunt, Penrith Panthers flyer Josh Mansour, grand-final winning South Sydney Rabbitohs backs Dylan Walker and Alex Johnston, Canterbury Bulldogs duo David Klemme and Josh Jackson, Wests Tigers prop Aaron Woods, Newcastle Knights rookie Sione Mata'utia and Sydney Roosters pair Daniel Tupou and Aidan Guerra are the new faces.

Melbourne Storm's Cameron Smith will again lead the side.

Sheens has been forced to blood a host of new faces due to the large contingent of players unavailable through either injury or suspension.

"There are all talented kids. They are not going to be put off by playing for Australia," Sheens said.

"I'm not nervous. I'm excited about it.

"It's a really good blend of experience and youth. The positive for me is the experience that even the debutants have. We have a high proportion of State of Origin representatives and premiership winners and they all deserve to wear the jumper.

Australia are the defending Four Nations champions, having won the tournament in 2011.

The Kangaroos begin their title defence against New Zealand in Brisbane on October 25.

They then face England in Melbourne on November 2 before finishing with Samoa in Wollongong on November 9.

The final will be held in Wellington on November 15.

Kangaroos squad: Greg Bird, Daly Cherry-Evans, Boyd Cordner, Cooper Cronk, Robbie Farah, Aidan Guerra, Jarryd Hayne, Ryan Hoffman, Ben Hunt, Greg Inglis, Josh Jackson, Michael Jennings, Alex Johnston, David Klemmer, Josh Mansour, Sione Mata"utia, Josh Papalii, Corey Parker, Beau Scott, Cameron Smith (c), Sam Thaiday, Daniel Tupou, Dylan Walker, Aaron Woods
