The Tuggeranong junior has bounced back from a horror injury run to be included in Australia's Twenty20 squad to play against India in October.

An Australian call-up could set Behrendorff on course towards his goal of a maiden Test cap with Australia looking to win back the Ashes.

Australian selector Mark Waugh says Behrendorff "deserves his chance at this level" on the back of his impressive domestic resume.

An international Twenty20 debut would be the biggest feather in Behrendorff's cap as he looks to force his way into Australia's top XI across all three formats.

"It's something you aspire to as a cricketer, you want to continue to get better and better and play at the highest level possible," Behrendorff told The Canberra Times earlier this month.

"That's something that I'm constantly aspiring to and if that opportunity arose I'd take it with both hands.

"It's always important to be fit and firing so that when an opportunity arises you're ready to go and you can take it."

Test great and selector Waugh praised Behrendorff's performances at Big Bash League level with the Perth Scorchers and says the Western Australian quick "deserves his chance" having taken 53 wickets in 38 games.

"Jason has been a stand out performer for the Scorchers for a number of seasons and deserves his chance at this level," Waugh said.

A final schedule for the tour is yet to be published but Cricket Australia has confirmed the matches will be played from September 17 to October 13.

Behrendorff had battled back from a horror injury run and was set to tour South Africa with Australia A before the player pay dispute saw the series boycotted.

It could have been the perfect platform for Behrendorff, who was overlooked when Starc pulled out of the upcoming Test tour of Bangladesh with a foot injury.

But now the 27-year-old will look to launch into the Ashes frame with a dominant showing on the subcontinent in the short format.

Australian captain Steve Smith has backed Usman Khawaja and Ashton Agar to line up for the first Test in Bangladesh.

But it remains to be seen whether Glenn Maxwell will retain the No.6 spot, with fellow allrounder Hilton Cartwright in the mix for a call-up as the Australian squad braces for wet weather in Dhaka.

Smith indicated left-arm tweaker Agar was in the box seat to partner Nathan Lyon ahead of uncapped legspinner Mitchell Swepson.

With a summer Ashes series on the horizon, classy left-hander Khawaja appears a lock for the No.3 spot in Bangladesh despite being dumped from the Test squad for the March tour of India.
