Opening batsmen Chris Gayle [ Images ] and Sewnarine Chattergoon [ Images ] return to the West Indies [ Images ] squad for the third and final Test against Australia [ Images ] at the Kensington Oval next week.
Australia lead 1-0 after the drawn second Test in Antigua.
Gayle, who has missed nearly two months action because of a groin strain, has been named as captain but will have his fitness checked throughout the preparation ahead of Thursday's first day.
Left-handed Guyanese Chattergoon has also missed both the Tests, with a shoulder injury, after making an impressive introduction to the team during the previous series against Sri Lanka [ Images ].
Chattergoon replaces Devon Smith [ Images ] whose disappointing performances in Antigua cost him his place but Jamaican batsman Xavier Marshall, who scored a half century at North Sound, keeps his place.
The 14-man squad also includes the Barbados pairing of left-armer Sulieman Benn and seamer Kemar Roach.
Benn has been in the squad throughout the series without adding to his debut cap against Sri Lanka while Roach, a product of the West Indies under-19 team, has yet to appear in the full regional side and has only played four first class matches.
Luke Ronchi [ Images ], the Western Australia wicketkeeper has been called up as cover for Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin [ Images ], who is recovering from a broken finger.
West Indies squad: Chris Gayle (captain),Ramnaresh Sarwan [ Images ] (vice captain), Sulieman Benn, Dwayne Bravo [ Images ], Shivnarine Chanderpaul [ Images ], Sewnarine Chattergoon, Fidel Edwards [ Images ], Xavier Marshall, Runako Morton, Daren Powell [ Images ], Denesh Ramdin [ Images ], Kemar Roach, Darren Sammy, Jerome Taylor [ Images ].
