Shane Watson, who suffered a calf-injury, is dropped from the final test against Srilanka in Sydney. All Rounder Glenn Maxwell is likely to make his debut at Sydney, as a replacement for injured Watson.
Maxwell, 24, has played 15 first-class matches and collected 27 wickets at 33.81, and has scored 924 runs at an average of 42. He made his ODI and Twenty20 international debuts earlier this year and is viewed as a player of enormous potential by John Inverarity's selection panel.
