Australia will take three spin options into Tuesday's third Test against Pakistan in Sydney, with Steve O'Keefe and Ashton Agar joining Nathan Lyon in the 13-man squad for the SCG.
Nic Maddinson has been dumped after struggling at No.6 in his first three Tests and seamer Chadd Sayers is also out, while uncapped allrounder Hilton Cartwright remains in the side.
With a tour of India on the horizon, Australia are likely to play two spinners in Sydney after wrapping up a 2-0 series victory with a last-gasp win in the Boxing Day Test.
Australia's 13-man squad: Matt Renshaw, David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith (capt), Peter Handscomb, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, Jackson Bird, Hilton Cartwright, Ashton Agar, Steve O'Keefe.
