Jake Weatherald looks set to make his Test debut in Perth after being named in the 15-man squad, but there are still no guarantees as to what sort of team Australia will play in that match.
The Tasmanian has held off highly-fancied competition including Matthew Renshaw, who was publicly backed by Usman Khawaja, and Mitch Marsh, a smokey who came into the running with a run of good form in white ball cricket and a full-throated endorsement from Greg Chappell.
Neither Renshaw or Marsh were included in the 15.
