The uncapped Stoinis, who is playing a Sheffield Shield contest in Alice Springs for Victoria, has been named as a replacement for the injured Mitchell Marsh and will leave for India at the conclusion of the match. "When we looked at the various options we had to replace Mitch there were two or three people that came to mind of course," Hohns told reporters. "Marcus was one, Moises (Henriques) was another, another young fella by the name of Jack Wildermuth was considered as well, he's had a terrific season too." "Secondly, to give us as many options we could have going forward in this series, we felt the stronger bowler was the best option at this stage. The series is level at 1-1 with the penultimate Test starting on March 16.
