Australia swing bowling spearhead Ben Hilfenhaus was called up on Monday to replace injured Brett Lee for their upcoming match against Sri Lanka.
Hilfenhaus has been a great bowler for Australia over the years. He was the highest wicket taker for Australia against India last year.
"The bowling attack for Perth is likely to be the same as the one that did so well in Melbourne and Ben will be in Perth to provide cover," said national selector John Inverarity.
Lee has been ruled out of action for six weeks after fracturing the toe of his right foot. His foot was struck by the ball during the match against India at Melbourne.
Australia had a convincing 65 run victory over India this Sunday. India will be playing against Sri Lanka this Wednesday while Australia plays Sri Lanka on Friday in a highly competitive game of cricket.
