Jhye Richardson will replace injured paceman Josh Hazlewood but opener David Warner has been cleared to play against England in the second day-night Ashes test, Australia captain Pat Cummins has confirmed.
Hazlewood was ruled out of Adelaide, after suffering a side strain during Australia's nine-wicket win in the first test at the Gabba.
Two-test Richardson beat out the uncapped pace veteran Michael Neser for the spot in Australia's attack with Cummins, Mitchell Starc and spinner Nathan Lyon.
Richardson, who generates a lot of pace from a 1.78m frame, rejoins the team nearly three years on from his impressive debut series against Sri Lanka in 2019.
The 25-year-old's international career suffered a setback, when he dislocated his shoulder in a fielding mishap against Pakistan's one-day side soon after his test debut.
But he returned to top form in the Sheffield Shield this season to earn a place in the Ashes squad.
"He played two really good tests and was on the verge of an Ashes series and a World Cup before his shoulder injury," Cummins said.
"He's worked incredibly hard, had a great start to this year for WA and we think he's firing."
Left-hander Warner suffered a bruised rib, after taking a few body blows during his 94 in Brisbane and appeared in some discomfort during a net session on Tuesday.
However, Cummins said the 35-year-old would grind through with the help of a pain-killing injection, if necessary.
"Knowing Davey he's not going to miss this one," Cummins said. "He'll be fine when the adrenalin kicks. It's not like a broken bone that is going to get worse."
There were no other changes to the XI that secured a 1-0 lead in the five-test series at the Gabba.
Australia hold the urn after retaining it in 2019 in England, where they drew the series 2-2 against Joe Root's team.
