Harry Brook will captain both 16-member squads as England prepare for three ODIs and five T20Is against Australia.
Bethell returns to the ODI squad after recovering from the knee injury he sustained during England’s ODI series win against India in July.
Archer has also been included, having been rested for the tri-series in Pakistan, with the duo among the changes to the squad travelling for the ODI series in Australia.

Thomas Rew and Eddie Jack have earned their first England call-ups after being named in the T20I squad.
Rew, 18, is the youngest member of the squad and captained the U19s side to the ICC Men’s Under-19 World Cup Final in February.
