KEY POINTS:
Australia have retained the same squad for the third cricket test against India in Perth, starting on Wednesday.
Although Australia played three fast bowlers and a spinner in the first two tests, paceman Shaun Tait is a chance to break into the side at the expense of wrist spinner Brad Hogg.
Opening batsman Matthew Hayden retained his spot despite his injury troubles during the second test in Sydney, where he batted in the second innings with a runner because of a leg problem, which also prevented him fielding on the final day.
Chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch said Hayden's fitness would be reviewed in the lead-up to the match.
Australian squad: Ricky Ponting (captain), Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden, Phil Jaques, Michael Hussey, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Brad Hogg, Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson, Stuart Clark, Shaun Tait.
