The majority of Australia's Test team has been cleared to play for their Big Bash League clubs in the dying stages of the regular season.
Sydney Thunder will receive a huge boost, with paceman Pat Cummins and batsmen Usman Khawaja and Kurtis Patterson on deck for the team's do-or-die match on Saturday.
The game will be held at Canberra's Manuka Oval, where Australia sealed victory over Sri Lanka on Monday and Patterson and Khawaja scored hundreds.

The Test trio hasn't featured in BBL08 so far – Patterson had been overlooked prior to his baggy green call-up late last month, while Cummins and Khawaja were unavailable all summer due to international duty.
Elsewhere, second Test centurion Joe Burns and Marnus Labuschagne return to Brisbane Heat, who need to win before relying on results to fall in their favour to secure an unlikely finals berth.
Off-spinner Nathan Lyon will be available for Sydney Sixers, who have already booked a semi-final appearance, while opener Marcus Harris rejoins the third-placed Melbourne Renegades.
Following a breakout Test series, Travis Head will feature in Adelaide Strikers' season-ending game on Saturday as the BBL07 premiers look to avoid the dreaded wooden spoon by beating Perth Scorchers.
Test skipper Tim Paine is allowed to take the field for the top-of-the-table Hobart Hurricanes, though he may be afforded a rare break after a draining summer.
Young paceman Jhye Richardson is the only member of the Test side who wasn't cleared – with his Scorchers out of finals contention, he will instead rest ahead of a limited-overs tour of India later this month and the Ashes in the winter.
Mitchell Starc is also out of action as he does not have a BBL contract.
The players will be available for the remainder of the Big Bash, with the final to be played on February 17.
Those who are not selected for the white-ball trip to India, which begins with a Twenty20 on the 25th, will play Sheffield Shield cricket for their states until late March.
