Australia have confirmed their 13-man squad for the Boxing Day Test against India, with Queensland batsman Joe Burns called in.

Burns replaces injured allrounder Mitch Marsh (hamstring).

Australia’s squad for the third Test: David Warner, Chris Rogers, Shane Watson, Steve Smith (capt), Shaun Marsh, Joe Burns, Brad Haddin, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood, Ryan Harris, Peter Siddle.
