Mitchell Swepson will make his Test debut when Australia face Pakistan at the National Stadium.
Australia captain Pat Cummins on Friday confirmed leg-spinner Swepson will make his Test bow at the PCA Stadium five years after he was first called up.
"He's pumped and to be honest, we're all pumped for Swepo," Australia captain Cummins said.
"It's been a long time running drinks over the last couple of years, but he's absolutely ready.
"He's been a huge part of the squad, even though he hasn't been playing. So we're really excited to see him get a chance.
"The wicket here is a little bit drier and historically a bit friendlier for the spinners."
Australia only took four wickets in the match as the first Test at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium drifted into a draw.
