James Pattinson has been anointed as the man to step into Mitchell Johnson's shoes for the day-night Test in Adelaide, while Usman Khawaja's injured hamstring has meant another recall for Shaun Marsh.

The national selectors have named a squad of 13 for the relative unknown of the inaugural floodlit Test, to be played with the experimental pink Kookaburra ball. New South Wales left-arm spinner Steve O'Keefe was also included as a potential tandem option opposite Nathan Lyon. This is the case even though the Adelaide surface is expected to be well grassed in an attempt to keep the ball from losing its pink coating.

Looks like yet another New South Welshman Steve O'Keefe has snagged the all important second spinners berth over either Fawad Ahmed or Ashton Agar.
