SYDNEY, Jan 17: Australia named an unchanged squad on Tuesday for the fourth and final Test against India in Adelaide, maintaining faith in struggling No 3 batsman Shaun Marsh.

The Australians are chasing a 4-0 series thrashing of India and are expected to make one change to their starting 11 with spinner Nathan Lyon likely to return at the expense of young paceman Mitchell Starc.

The injury-plagued Marsh held his spot despite failing to fire in the series, which the Australians lead 3-0 after their innings and 37 runs victory in Perth on Sunday.

Squad: David Warner, Ed Cowan, Shaun Marsh, Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke (captain), Michael Hussey, Brad Haddin, Peter Siddle, Ben Hilfenhaus, Nathan Lyon, Ryan Harris, Mitchell Starc.-AFP
