"They are available, yes," Silverwood told British media on Sunday. "Jimmy will be fit and ready to go for the second test, as will Stuart. (But) I have not told anyone they are playing yet.
"The guys have already been training with the pink ball behind the scenes. And what we have got is a very skilful set of bowlers.
"We have talent and we still have two of the best up our sleeve as well."
Australia have won every day-night test they have played, including the last Ashes clash in Adelaide during the 2017/18 series.
But the hosts also have some injury concerns ahead of the second test, with paceman Josh Hazlewood doubtful due to a side strain and opener David Warner struggling with bruised ribs.
