Bell, 22, will be joined at the WACA, Perth, for a two-day match leading into the third Ashes Test by fellow Tigers Jake Doran, Nick Buchanan and Mac Wright on December 9 and 10.
Bell has taken 15 wickets at an average of 20.80 to start the Sheffield Shield season, while Doran registered a debut hundred against South Australia last week.
