Peter Nevill will keep his place as Australia's wicketkeeper for the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston, despite the return of Brad Haddin.

Australia captain Michael Clarke has confirmed that Peter Nevill will keep his place as wicketkeeper ahead of Brad Haddin for the third Ashes Test against England.

Nevill stood in for Haddin in the second Test and helped the tourists to a convincing 405-run win that levelled the series.

Haddin missed the contest due to personal reasons, but is now available again. However, the Aussie selectors have opted to stick with Nevill after he took seven catches and made 45 in the first innings at Lord's.

Clarke said it was difficult to not see close friend Haddin involved, but understood the decision of the selectors.

"It's obviously a lot harder for me, because I have that attachment to Hadds - I've grown up playing cricket with him; we've spent a lot of time together, and I love the fact that he's still here working hard," PA quotes Clarke as saying.

"If an opportunity comes he'll grab it with both hands. On the other hand, Nev made the most of his opportunity in the second Test.

"I thought he batted really well and I thought he kept exceptionally well. So it's a tough one when you sit in the middle, but that's the way the selectors have gone - and I respect their decision."

The third Test at Edgbaston gets underway tomorrow.
