Australia have added experienced Western Australia batsman Adam Voges to their One-Day International squad as cover for George Bailey.

Bailey, who scored his maiden ODI century in the second match against the West Indies in Perth, has a tight hamstring, picked up during Australia's 39-run win in the third match in Canberra.

Voges, 32, has played 15 ODIs since making his debut against New Zealand in February 2007 as well as six Twenty20 Internationals.

Australia lead the five-match series 3-0 following victories in the first three games before the series moves on to Sydney (8th February) and Melbourne (10th February).
