Mitchell Starc could be rested for the fourth ODI against England as Australia's gruelling tour continues to take its physical toll.
Starc is one of only three Australians who played in the Ashes still standing and - according to coach Darren Lehmann - he is struggling to stay at his best.
Mitchell Johnson and Josh Hazlewood were rested for the ODI series, while David Warner, Shane Watson and Nathan Coulter-Nile have all succumbed to injury, meaning Lehmann is tempted to leave Starc out of the match at his former home ground of Headingley.
"I know there's been a lot of talk about someone like Mitchell Starc and his workload over the past 12 months has been exceptional. We'll see whether he plays or not on Friday," said Lehmann.
"We wanted to try and get him home if we could - maybe play a couple of games and then bring in a younger bowler again.
"It hasn't played out that way so we'll just sum it up from here. We're all tired, but that's international cricket, that's what you do when you're representing your country.
"You want to try and play the best brand of cricket you can to try and win games but scheduling is always tough."
Lehmann identified spin bowling as key to England's 93-run victory at Old Trafford on Tuesday - a result that reduced Australia's lead in the five-match series to 2-1.
"We've just got to play spin a lot better, as we've spoken about many times before. They out-bowled us in that department and had the advantage of bowling second, but we should've played better," he added.
"Ashton [Agar] was pretty good for a young guy in his first game. I thought he bowled reasonably well.
"He probably needs to get his lengths right more often, but for a young guy, first game, we were very impressed with him - and if he got the chance to bowl second it would have been nice to see how he'd gone then.
"He's only a young kid still so for us still trying to get some games into him and keep him improving."
