Australia wicketkeeper Tim Paine is a doubt for the Boxing Day Test against England because of personal reasons.
Paine has not travelled to Melbourne with the rest of Steve Smith's squad ahead of the fourth Ashes Test.
A Cricket Australia statement explained a further update on his plans will be issued in due course.
The 33-year-old was a surprise selection for this winter's Ashes, ahead of Peter Nevill and Matthew Wade, when he was recalled for this winter's Ashes.
But he has been a success in front and behind the stumps as Australia have opened up an unassailable 3-0 lead to win back the urn before Christmas.
A CA statement read: "Tim Paine has not travelled with the squad to Melbourne due to personal reasons. An update on his travel plans will be provided in due course."
