Teen sensation Phoebe Litchfield didn't 'think it was her time yet' but luckily the Australian selectors don't agree.

Litchfield is the one new face in the 15-woman squad announced on Wednesday for the multi-format Ashes series and is firming for her Test debut.

Selectors have otherwise retained all players who won the Twenty20 World Cup in February.

The 19-year-old's call-up comes after a stellar home summer, where she was dismissed only once in her first three ODIs against Pakistan and totalled 154 runs.

Long regarded as one of the country's best young talents, Litchfield also averaged 49.87 for NSW in one-day cricket, and registered her maiden WNCL century.

'I was at university, [selector] Shawn Flegler called me and I said: "I need to take this call",' Litchfield recalled.
