"Australia captain Steve Smith has named one change for the fourth
Commonwealth Bank Pink Test at the SCG, with Mitchell Starc replacing
the injured Mitchell Johnson," Cricket Australia said in a statement.
Johnson was ruled out after failing to overcome hamstring soreness he sustained in the drawn third Test in Melbourne.
Besides, all-rounder Shane Watson has recovered from a stomach problem that forced him to leave training session early.
"I'm sure he's looking forward to playing out here in front of his home ground at the SCG. I think having one left-hander's good for us," Smith said on Starc's selection.
"The way we've seen Mitch go back into the Big Bash, it looks like he's bowled exceptionally quick. We're looking for hopefully for more of the same he's produced in the Big Bash this week.
