Australian batsman Shaun Marsh has been declared a certain starter for the third test against India, despite being struck down by a bug yesterday.
Marsh was scheduled to front the media in Perth yesterday, but told officials he couldn't fulfil his duties after waking up under the weather.
However, he is expected to recover sufficiently to join in at training today, with veteran batsman Mike Hussey confident his West Australian teammate was in no doubt for the test.
"He'll be at training I'm sure with the boys and preparing as well as he can," said Hussey, who filled in for Marsh at the press conference.
Marsh has struggled since returning from a back injury, posting scores of just 0, 3 and 0 over the first two tests against India.
