Skipper Pat Cummins and veteran spinner Nathan Lyon return to the XI for the crucial third Test at Adelaide Oval, with all-rounder Michael Neser and pacer Brendan Doggett the players to make way.
It means experienced opener Usman Khawaja remains on the outer as he plots a way back into the XI following a back concern, while backup batter Josh Inglis retains his place in the side and will bat at No.7.
Cummins said Khawaja was disappointed not to regain his place in the Australian side despite the 2-0 series advantage but credited the way he handled the news.
