Melbourne: Australia vice-captain Shane Watson will miss the third Test in Sydney after sustaining a calf strain during his team's series-winning rout of Sri Lanka in the second Test in Melbourne.
Watson pulled up sore after bowling on Day 1 at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) and although he went on to score 83 with the bat, the all-rounder was spared from bowling duties during Sri Lanka's brief second innings on Friday.
Australia wrapped up an innings and 201-run victory against the injury-ravaged Sri Lankans to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Glenn Maxwell comes into a 13-man squad named by Australia captain Michael Clarke following the match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with the skipper himself still under a cloud with a hamstring strain.
Clarke sustained his injury in Australia's victory in the first Test in Hobart, but was cleared to play on the morning of the Boxing Day Test and scored a sparkling 106 to cap his brilliant year.
Clarke said seamer Mitchell Johnson, who was named man-of-the-match after taking six wickets and making an unbeaten 92 with the bat, would also be considered as an all-rounder for the dead rubber Test, depending on the Sydney wicket.
Australian team for third Test: Michael Clarke (Capt.), David Warner, Ed Cowan, Phil Hughes, Glenn Maxwell, Mike Hussey, Matthew Wade (wk), Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Lyon, Jackson Bird, Usman Khawaja.
