Greg Inglis will captain a strong Australian squad against Papua New Guinea in the annual Prime Minister's 13 rugby league clash.
Semi Radradra, Josh Dugan and Blake Ferguson were also a part of the Kangaroos squad that beat New Zealand in May, while nine of the squad featured in this year's State of Origin.

Coach Mal Meninga has named six debutantes: with former Fiji international Radradra, James Tedesco, Mitchell Moses, Tyson Frizell, Josh Jackson and David Klemmer.
Meninga, a former PNG Kumuls coach, said the match at Port Moresby's National Football Stadium is an opportunity for players to push for selection ahead of the Four Nations tour at the end of this year and next year's Rugby League World Cup.

"This is an outstanding squad. There are four representatives from the Test match against New Zealand and on top of that, no less than nine of the players were a part of Origin this year," he said.
"The PNG tours are some of the most enjoyable trips I have been on, but they are no holiday when you run onto the field. The PNG boys play a tough and energetic brand of football and they will be well backed by a huge crowd, all willing the home team on.
"Whenever you get the chance to visit and play rugby league in Port Moresby, it's a special experience and this game will be no different."
