SYDNEY, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Caretaker Australia coach Han Berger has named Everton midfielder Tim Cahill and Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer for Australia’s first international since the World Cup against Slovenia in Ljubljana next week.

Thirteen of Berger’s 20-man squad for the friendly against fellow World Cup qualifiers Slovenia represented Australia at the finals in South Africa as the Dutchman, recently promoted from technical director, stuck to an entirely overseas-based squad.

Nathan Burns receives his first Socceroos call-up since being selected for a friendly in Singapore in 2008 after impressing for AEK Athens in the pre-season. Bruce Djite and Jon McKain return to the squad named on Tuesday for the first time since March.
