Shaun Marsh has an opportunity to rekindle his stop-start international career, when Australia host New Zealand in the inaugural day-night Test match.
Marsh has been recalled into the team for the third and final Test in Adelaide, starting Friday, after batsman Usman Khawaja suffered a hamstring injury in Perth last week.
The last time Marsh, who has managed 15 matches across four years, pulled on a 'baggy green' was during this year's unsuccessful Ashes campaign in England.
It did not end well for Marsh after producing scores of zero and two in the fourth Test.
The 32-year-old was dropped for the final match due to his poor return.
Marsh, however, has the chance to cement his spot as Australia - leading the series 1-0 - use a pink cricket ball for the first time in the history of the game.
"He has another opportunity to play for Australia and at number five he's done a terrific job, and I think that's where he is best suited," Smith told reporters on Thursday.
"He did that last summer here against India and he played beautifully.
"So he's got an opportunity to come in and do well and hopefully he can take it with both hands."
Marsh, who joins brother Mitch in the squad, is not the only new face in the team set to face their Trans-Tasman rivals at Adelaide Oval.
James Pattinson has been called up following the retirement of veteran paceman Mitchell Johnson, who walked away from the game after last week's draw at the WACA.
Spinner Stephen O'Keefe was initially included, but he was released from the squad on Thursday as the Aussies opted to stick with three quicks.
Some changes are also on the cards for New Zealand, who have an opportunity to level the series.
While paceman Trent Bolt is expected to be declared fit, spinner Mitchell Santner is in line for a Test debut as Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum attempts to make the most of the unique day-night conditions.
Santner, 23, made his limited-overs bow against England in June.
McCullum, whose New Zealand drew with Western Australia in a two-day tour match, said: "You've got to earn the right for any sort of tactics to be able to implement them, but in the day-night test match there may be an opportunity where we think the conditions may be at their best for bowling at some stage, and it may be able to accelerate the Test match and put you in a stronger position if you're able to benefit from it.
"That's something we've got to definitely look at."
