We will make those assessments when we get to Sydney," Hohns said.In a statement, Cricket Australia said that Swepson would join the squad during the ongoing Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.Meanwhile, right-arm pacer Peter Siddle will return to play in the ongoing ninth edition of the Big Bash League, having been left out of the XI as Australia went with James Pattinson at the MCG."Having Sids (Siddle) as the 13th man and his experience at the MCG has been invaluable," Hohns said. "His insights have greatly assisted the fast bowlers for this Test and it was great having him around the group."Australia currently leads the three-match series 1-0, having won the first Test by 296 runs in Perth.( With inputs from IANS )
