Shane Watson may return to India following birth of first child Shane Watson and Lee Furlong have welcomed their first child - a boy - into the world. Shane Watson may return for the fourth Test in India following the birth of his son. AUSTRALIA's top-order faces a potential bat-off in the third Test against India with Shane Watson rocketing back into the selection frame after celebrating the birth of his first child. Watson's wife Lee gave birth to a baby boy, Will, last night in Sydney, just three days after the allrounder returned home following his suspension for not taking part in a formal team presentation. Michael Clarke said he was sweating on Watson's availability for the fourth Test and the skipper has been granted his wish. Watson is currently weighing up his future in cricket, but his possible return for the final Test against India could leave Phil Hughes, Steve Smith and Brad Haddin fighting for batting berths. Hughes has been demoted to No.4 behind Michael Clarke for the third Test, while Smith (No.5) and Brad Haddin (No.6) also reclaimed their baggy-green caps following the sacking of the Forgetful Four. The third Test began yesterdat in Mohali, only for the first day's play to be washed out before a ball had been bowled after persistent rain lashed the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. Watson is a certainty for the fourth Test if he decides to return to India, a scenario that would leave Hughes, Smith and Haddin in the firing line. And there may only be one berth available if wicketkeeper Matthew Wade is cleared to return for the fourth Test in Delhi after withdrawing with an ankle complaint. Hughes is under mounting pressure to post a big score after 25 runs at 6.25 in the first two Tests, while Smith or Haddin can nail down a specialist batting position if they fire in Mohali. The dumped quartet of Watson, Mitchell Johnson, Usman Khawaja and James Pattinson were only stood down for one match and Clarke will support his deputy's reinstatement if he agrees to rejoin the touring party. Shane Watson arrives in Sydney for the birth of his first child and after being dropped fromAustralia's team for the third Test against India. "Hopefully all goes to plan there, Lee has the baby in the next few days and Watto is back here playing the fourth Test as our vice-captain," Clarke said. Veteran gloveman Haddin, playing his first Test in 14 months, knows he can secure a full-time batting spot for the Ashes with a ton in the third Test. "I'm excited by it," he said. I have enjoyed my season at home but the beauty of Test cricket is this is where you want to test yourself playing in foreign countries. It's good to be back on this stage again. The demotion of the quartet leaves Australia with a re-jigged XI, with Haddin and Nathan Lyon among four changes to the side thumped by an innings in Hyderabad. Axed allrounder Glenn Maxwell makes way for Lyon, left-arm paceman Mitchell Starc returns to the side and Smith gets his chance at third drop. Skipper Clarke has confirmed that he will bat at No.3, relegating Hughes one spot. Wade tried valiantly to prove his fitness but ultimately succumbed after struggling to complete a series of fielding and running drills at Australia's final training session yesterday. At the end of the final training run, Maxwell looked downcast as he chatted at length with coach Mickey Arthur, suggesting he had been dropped.
