Allrounder Steve Smith has also been recalled, while opening batsman David Warner is also on the squad released on Thursday, despite being under a cloud after breaking a thumb during practice.
James Pattinson has been named in a five-man pace attack after missing most of the Australian summer with a rib injury.
Australia play the first test in Chennai on February 22.
