The team was confirmed after a light training run at the Arnos Vale Cricket Ground on Saturday, selectors sticking by the XI who delivered a 64 run-win on Friday at the venue.
It means pace duo Ben Hilfenhaus and James Pattinson, as well as spinner Nathan Lyon, will have to wait until at least game three in St Vincent on Tuesday before making their first appearances in the Caribbean.
Hilfenhaus and Pattinson were both fit for selection for game two while Lyon lost his place in the team for game one to middle-order batsman George Bailey, who top-scored with 48 on debut on Friday.

Bailey said Friday's win will put the team in good stead for the rest of the series.
"We learnt a lot," he said.
"There's some bowlers we hadn't seen from them, we've looked at a lot of footage but until you're actually out there facing it and getting a feel for the pace, how much the ball turns and what they do you don't fully appreciate it.
