Paceman James Pattinson has been recalled to Australia’s squad for the rest of the one-day cricket tri-series, after recovering from injury.
Captain Michael Clarke is also expected to return from a back injury for Friday’s clash with Sri Lanka.
Both were named on Tuesday in a 13-man squad for the match against the Lankans and the best-of-three finals series to follow.
Pattinson’s return came at the expense of fellow quick Ryan Harris, who will instead play Sheffield Shield cricket for Queensland in a match against NSW starting on Thursday.
Pattinson proved his recovery from a foot injury by performing strongly in a recent second XI match for Victoria.
Chairman of selectors John Inverarity said Harris had been dropped from the ODI squad but is still a key member of the Test set-up.
“Ryan remains strongly in contention for selection for the Test matches on the tour of the West Indies,” Inverarity said.
“Michael Clarke is making a good recovery and is likely to resume on Friday.
“The selectors will consider adding an extra player to this squad for the tri-series finals matches, if conditions warrant it.”
Squad: Michael Clarke (capt), Shane Watson, Dan Christian, Xavier Doherty, Peter Forrest, Ben Hilfenhaus, David Hussey, Michael Hussey, Brett Lee, Clint McKay, James Pattinson, Matthew Wade, David Warner.
