Australia's three players under minor fitness clouds have all trained strongly ahead of Wednesday's first cricket Test against Pakistan in Dubai.
Skipper Michael Clarke and uncapped allrounder Mitchell Marsh both came to the United Arab Emirates earlier this month with hamstring injuries.
But they played in last week's four-day game against Pakistan A without any concerns and completed full training with the team on Monday in a centre-wicket net session.
Opening batsman David Warner skipped the four-day game because of a groin strain but he's also ready to play, pace bowler Peter Siddle says.
"Mitch Marsh got through seven overs in the second innings and got a good hit out in the middle as well," Siddle said.
"So it was good to see him out there.
"It's nice to see everyone fit and strong going into the series.
"I don't see any niggles out there."
Siddle, who successfully targeted England star Kevin Pietersen in the past, has his eyes set on Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq.
"There are few older blokes in the middle, Younis Khan and the captain Misbah," Siddle said.
"They are going to be tough ones out there and they are experienced guys and will hold the ship together in the middle and throughout the innings.
"We always want to put pressure on the captain and they are the players we are looking to get on top of and that will give confidence to everyone else as well."
