Batsman Michael Clarke faces a late fitness test as Australia named an unchanged squad of 14 on Saturday for the triangular one-day series against West Indies and Pakistan, which starts in Melbourne next week.

While the squad is identical to the one that tied a limited-overs series against New Zealand in Australia last month, 23-year-old Clarke will have a foot complaint assessed before the series begins.

"Michael Clarke, who is currently receiving physio treatment for a sore right foot, will be monitored in the lead-up to Australia's first match of the series against the West Indies on Friday," Australia said in a statement.

"A decision on his fitness for the opening game will be made in due course."

Australia squad: Ricky Ponting (captain), Adam Gilchrist, Michael Clarke, Jason Gillespie, Matthew Hayden, Brad Hogg, Michael Kasprowicz, Simon Katich, Shane Watson, Brett Lee, Darren Lehmann, Damien Martyn, Glenn McGrath, Andrew Symonds.
