February 08, 2012 16:06:21 UK
Australia coach Mickey Arthur has said it is quite likely that newly drafted batsman Peter Forrest will be handed his ODI debut in Friday's match against Sri Lanka at the WACA.
But he hasn't said whose place he will be taking in the final eleven.

Peter Forrest might get a go, but we still have to have a lot of discussion. I am not sure yet where he fits in.

Australia are 1.36 to win the third ODI against Sri Lanka, who themselves are 3.20 to get the win.
Forrest's Ryobi Cup form has not been extraordinary this season, but his impressive performances for his stateside Queensland in the Sheffield Shield competition means that he has been included in Australia's ODI squad for the Commonwealth Bank Series.
The 26-year old batsman has piled up a massive 581 runs in just six Shield matches this season at an average of 54.05 runs per innings.
Arthur wants to see Forrest's skills tested at the highest stage now but he says that the Bulls batsman's best position is still unknown to them.
"Likely Peter Forrest might get a go, but we still have to have a lot of discussion. I am not sure yet where he fits in. but we'll have some discussion leading up to the game," Arthur said.
"Nobody wants to rest which is great, the guys want to keep playing and they realise we are starting to develop a really good talent pool now. Places are at a premium and there are a lot of competition for places, which is perfect and it is right," the South African coach added.
