Brisbane: Shane Watson's rest has been cut short after he was called back into Australia's squad for Sunday's ODI against West Indies to replace the injured Shaun Marsh.

Watson will open at the Gabba as Australia aim to win the series following Friday's wash-out in Sydney, a game that didn't feature Marsh after he suffered a back problem shortly before the toss.

Marsh will head straight to Melbourne, where Australia have the Allan Border Medal ceremony on Monday night followed by the fifth ODI on Friday. Alex Kountouris, the team physio, said Marsh would be assessed next week to determine whether he would be fit for Friday's game.
