Changes player:-

Both teams will be appeared with some changes in their main squad. Australian opening batsman Matthew Hayden, who played in all 16 winning matches, will not be eligible to play in the third Test. Now, ACT Invitational XI opener and local boy Chris Rogers will make his debut at the age of 30. This batsman will make open the innings with Phil Jaques in this Test.

Australian fast bowler Shaun Tait has been re-called in the main squad. Now, Indian batsmen have to face Australian pace-trio attack in this bouncy pitch.

Good news for Indian team is that Virender Sehwag will play in the third Test. He showed his impressive performance in the warm-up match scoring a quick hundred in 78 balls.

India will play three pace bowlers. So, Irfan Pathan has possibility to play in the Perth Test. One day special Yuvraj Singh, who could not show any resistance even in warm-up match too, will left out from main squad. What will happen with Wasim Jaffer? His position in the main squad of India team is not sure. He may left out or get another chance to play well as he is the specialist opener in India team.
