"The National Selection Panel has today advised that West Australian Shaun Marsh has been added to the Test squad as an additional batsman for the first Commonwealth Bank Test," Cricket Australia said in a statement.
Clarke's hamstring injury remains a concern and it is still not clear whether he would be available for the opening match of the series, which required rescheduling owing to the tragic death of Phillip Hughes.
The Australian team, which is still recovering from the shock of Hughes' death after being hit by a bouncer, today flew from Coffs Harbour to here following an emotional funeral of Hughes in Macksville yesterday.
"The Australian Test squad will assemble in Adelaide today and tomorrow ahead of the first Test starting on Tuesday 9 December."
Clarke had been recovering from the injury but had put his treatment on hold after Hughes death last week.
The tragedy forced a reshuffle to Australia's domestic and international cricket schedule, with the Brisbane Test now to be held second in the Border-Gavaskar Series.
