Injured Australia captain Michael Clarke will be fit to play the first Test against the West Indies, selectors said on Wednesday as they named a squad that saw the return of spinner Michael Beer.
Clarke was ruled out of the one-day series in the Caribbean that starts on Friday after injuring his hamstring in a tri-series clash against Sri Lanka earlier this month.
But after intense treatment, he was included in the 16-man Test squad as was 37-year old former captain Ricky Ponting who was dropped from the one-day team last month.
