Batsman Michael Clarke [ Images ] faces a late fitness test as Australia [ Images ] named an unchanged squad of 14 on Saturday for the triangular one-day series against West Indies [ Images ] and Pakistan, which starts in Melbourne [ Images ] next week.

"A decision on his fitness for the opening game will be made in due course."
