Queensland left-armer Matthew Kuhnemann is a "live chance" to play as third spinner in the second Test in India after being called into Australia's Test squad.
The 26-year-old is replacing state teammate Mitchell Swepson, who is returning home to Australia for the birth of his first child and is expected to rejoin the squad ahead of the third Test.
Australia will weigh up multiple changes for the second Test in Delhi after being crushed inside three days by a relentless Indian spin attack in the series opener in Nagpur.
