Adelaide: Phillip Hughes is likely to get a Test recall later this week as injured Simon Katich's replacement for Australia's third Ashes Test against England in Perth.
Opening batsman Katich is out for the rest of the series with a torn Achilles tendon and skipper Ricky Ponting has indicated Hughes is the "first cab off the rank" as his replacement.
Hughes, who burst on to the Test scene with two centuries in the second Test against South Africa in Durban in 2009, fell out of favour when he was dropped after just two Tests against England later that year.
The New South Wales left-hander was found out against the well-directed short ball during the 2009 Ashes series in England and has largely played a backseat role since Katich united with Shane Watson to open the innings.
Now that Katich is sidelined indefinitely Hughes, 22, may get another chance to state his claim for a longer spell of Test cricket.
"Phil Hughes is the first one who comes to mind," Ponting said, when asked after Tuesday's Test loss about the new opener.
