Pacer Peter Siddle's hamstring injury notwithstanding, Australia announced an unchanged 12-member squad for the third and final cricket Test against the West Indies starting December 16 in Perth.

'The National Selection Panel today announced an unchanged squad of 12 players for the third Test match in Perth, following upon a very hard -fought draw in the Adelaide Test,' NSP Chairman Andrew Hilditch said in a statement.

Siddle's hamstring injury, which he picked up during the Adelaide Test, is a concern but Hilditch said the pacer should recover in time for the series' final match.

'Peter Siddle's fitness will be assessed daily leading up to the match and we are hopeful he will recover in time to take his place in the side for what should be an exciting climax to the three-match Test series,' he said.
Australia lead the series 1-0 after winning the opening match in Brisbane.
