Ben Hilfenhaus will replace injured paceman Brett Lee for the one-day international against Sri Lanka.
"The NSP has named Ben Hilfenhaus in the squad for the game against Sri Lanka in Perth on Friday," Inverarity said. "Ben will replace the injured Brett Lee and the bowling attack for Perth is likely to be the same as the one that did so well in Melbourne and Ben will be in Perth to provide cover."
Hilfenhaus was instrumental in Australia's Test whitewash of India, where he was the top wicket-taker with 27 scalps for an average 17.22, and the selectors said he would stand in for Lee at Friday's one-dayer in Perth.
Australia opened the tri-nation ODI series with a convincing 65-run win over India on Sunday.
India meet Sri Lanka on Wednesday and Australia and Sri Lanka square off on Friday.
