Simmons was suspended in September for questioning the continued omissions of all-rounders Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard.
But neither Bravo nor Pollard is included in the squad for Australia, with the selectors opting to keep faith in the same players who have just lost two Tests in Sri Lanka.
Before that, Australia beat West Indies in two Tests in the Caribbean in June.
Allrounder Jason Holder captains the side for Australia, which also includes legspinner Devendra Bishoo, one of the few bright spots from the June series.
Bishoo took 6/80 in the first innings of the first Test in Dominica.
The first Test in Australia will start in Hobart on December 10, followed by further Tests in Melbourne (from December 26) and Sydney (January 3).
Squad: Jason Holder (capt), Kraigg Brathwaite, Devendra Bishoo, Jermaine Blackwood, Carlos Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Rajindra Chandrika, Shane Dowrich, Shannon Gabriel, Shai Hope, Denesh Ramdin, Kemar Roach, Marlon Samuels, Jerome Taylor, Jomel Warrican
