The Newcastle Jets playmaker, who hasn't been with the national side since the 2018 World Cup in Russia, was named in the 24-man group by Australian coach Graham Arnold on Thursday.

The Socceroos meet the Korea Republic in an international friendly in Busan on June 7.

"Our World Cup qualification campaign preparations start now," Arnold told Football Federation Australia media.

"The upcoming camp and friendly international in Korea Republic provides us the opportunity to expose more players to international football, which is vital as we prepare for a long qualification campaign.

"We have seen how arduous the previous World Cup path was for our squad and it is imperative that we spend this valuable time together to have a close look and some of our next generation.

"We have eleven players in this squad who have all had excellent seasons in the domestic competition and my message to those playing in the Hyundai A-League is that if you are playing regularly and consistently for your club, you will come into consideration for the next phase of World Cup qualifiers."

Three former Jets also made the cut - Adam Taggart, Josh Brillante and Craig Goodwin.

Arnold opted to rest a few of his more experienced campaigners.

"This international window also gives me the chance to spend an extended time with some of our more experienced players who have recently been missing from international football, but have been playing well for their respective clubs like Matthew Spiranovic, Rhys Williams, Adam Taggart, Bailey Wright, Josh Brillante and Brad Smith.

"The last couple of years has been tough on many of our senior players with little rest in between seasons. I know what those guys are capable of and I believe it is important they start their new campaigns with fresh bodies and minds. They will all be considered again for our first round of qualifiers in September."
