After Pakistan lost the series 2-0, Shaheen has been rested from the final Test at Sydney, which is also Australia opener David Warner's farewell Test.
The hosts found themselves at 16/4 following a memorable spell from the Pakistan pacers. However, Steve Smith and Mitchell Marsh pulled Australia back into the game by stitching up a partnership of 153 runs.
Mitchell Marsh talked about the emotions that he was going through during his match-saving knock of 96 on Day 3 of the second Test against Pakistan on Thursday at the MCG.
The second Test between the World Test Championship winners and the Asian side, a Boxing Day affair, is taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
