Melbourne: Uncapped Western Australian batsman Adam Voges was named as the replacement for Damien Martyn for the third Ashes Test after the experienced campaigner announced his retirement from all forms of cricket today.

Cricket Australia's National Selection Panel (NSP) included Voges in a 13-man squad for the Perth Test against England starting December 14.

"The retirement of Damien Martyn has given the NSP an opportunity to look at some of the fantastic young players who are emerging in Australia at the present time," CA NSP chairman Andrew Hilditch said in a press release.

"We are excited to give Adam this opportunity to join the squad. He is an outstanding young player who performed exceptionally well at the Commonwealth Bank Centre of Excellence and since his time at the CBCE, he has had a fantastic start to the domestic season," he added.

Besides, all-rounder Andrew Symonds was called in place of speedster Shaun Tait.

On injured all-rounder Shane Watson's condition, Hilditch said, "Watson continues to recover from his hamstring strain but our advice from medical staff was that he would not be fully recovered by the start of the Test, therefore we will allow him to have a full recovery so that he will be fully fit and available for the fourth Ashes Test in Melbourne."
