West Australian speedster Lance Morris began this summer declaring he'd been given a licence to bowl fast and intimidate.

Two months later, the man dubbed the Wild Thing will be doing it alongside Australia's best after earning a shock call up to the national squad as they prepare for the Adelaide Test.

The leading wicket-taker in the Sheffield Shield this season with 27 at an average of 18.40, Morris was given the tick of approval by fellow quicks around the country on Monday.

Realistically, the 24-year-old has only an outside chance to face West Indies, with Scott Boland set to come into the team if Pat Cummins does not recover from a quad injury.

Morris or fellow addition Michael Neser will then only feature if Mitchell Starc or Josh Hazlewood do not recover well from the win in Perth.

But his selection is a clear eye to the future, given he would be the youngest frontline quick picked since Jhye Richardson in 2019 if called upon.

When Morris began his season by taking 5-36 and 4-46 against NSW at the WACA, former Test batsman Kurtis Patterson said the speedster had produced the quickest spells he'd faced in the Sheffield Shield.

It came with Morris told to embrace his ability to bowl at speeds of up to 150km/h, having now mastered the art of finding consistent accuracy.

"I have a licence to bowl fast and intimidate," Morris said in October.

"And I really enjoy playing it too.

"I am starting to understand that and settle into my role."

Former Australia quick Peter Siddle claimed Morris had the game for Test cricket after playing against the speedster in recent seasons.

"His numbers over the last couple of years have been amazing," Siddle told AAP.

"He's played a very good, specific role for WA that could work in Test cricket.

"He's got the pace, he's got the aggression and I think the thing he's learned over the last couple of years, he's got a consistency now for the higher level.

"It's exciting. The depth of Australian cricket is exciting and he's just one of many who you could pluck from domestic cricket to come in."

West Australian teammate Aaron Hardie said Morris was now significantly more developed than when he shot onto the Shield scene in 2020.

"If he gets picked to play on Thursday, he'll absolutely dominate," Hardie said.

"He's bowling the fastest I've ever seen anybody bowl.

"He hits 145km/h with ease. He could do it off three steps if he wanted to.

"I'm sure if he gets the chance with the pink ball he'll not only take wickets, but probably reach 150km/h."

Morris' selection comes after fellow West Australian Richardson was not available due to a heel injury, while Sean Abbott and Mark Steketee were unlucky to be overlooked.
