Shaun Marsh Added to Australia's Test Squad

Adelaide: Selectors called batsman Shaun Marsh into Australia's Test squad Thursday as cover for recovering captain Michael Clarke ahead of next week's opening Test with India.

Marsh, 31, will join the 12-man squad in Adelaide, where the rescheduled four-Test series begins against India on Tuesday.

Clarke and his grief-stricken teammates attended Phillip Hughes' funeral on Wednesday and will assemble in Adelaide late Thursday and Friday for next week's series opener.

It is yet not clear if any of the Australian squad will withdraw from the Test, with emotions still raw following Hughes' freak death last week.
