Opening batsmen Chris Gayle and Sewnarine Chattergoon return to the West Indies [Images] squad for the third and final Test against Australia at the Kensington Oval next week.

Australia lead 1-0 after the drawn second Test in Antigua.

Gayle, who has missed nearly two months action because of a groin strain, has been named as captain but will have his fitness checked throughout the preparation ahead of Thursday's first day.

Left-handed Guyanese Chattergoon has also missed both the Tests, with a shoulder injury, after making an impressive introduction to the team during the previous series against Sri Lanka [Images].

Chattergoon replaces Devon Smith whose disappointing performances in Antigua cost him his place but Jamaican batsman Xavier Marshall, who scored a half century at North Sound, keeps his place.

The 14-man squad also includes the Barbados pairing of left-armer Sulieman Benn and seamer Kemar Roach.

Benn has been in the squad throughout the series without adding to his debut cap against Sri Lanka while Roach, a product of the West Indies under-19 team, has yet to appear in the full regional side and has only played four first class matches.

Luke Ronchi, the Western Australia wicketkeeper has been called up as cover for Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin, who is recovering from a broken finger.

West Indies squad: Chris Gayle (captain),Ramnaresh Sarwan [Images] (vice captain), Sulieman Benn, Dwayne Bravo [Images], Shivnarine Chanderpaul [Images], Sewnarine Chattergoon, Fidel Edwards, Xavier Marshall, Runako Morton, Daren Powell [Images], Denesh Ramdin, Kemar Roach, Darren Sammy, Jerome Taylor [Images].
