He won another Man of the Match award in his next Test, the 2011 Boxing Day Test against India, with match figures of 6/108 and 55 runs.{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-india-2011/engine/current/match/518950.html|title=1st Test: Australia v India at Melbourne, December 26–29, scorecard|access-date=31 December 2011|publisher=ESPNcricinfo}} but he wasn't included in Australia's squad for the 2012 T20 World Cup.{{cite news| url= http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournaments/2012-world-twenty20/Australia-leave-out-Pattinson-from-World-T20-squad/articleshow/15027037.cms| title=Australia leave out Pattinson from World T20 squad|work=Times of India | date=18 July 2012}}

He made a return to Australia squad after torn side injury during 2012 home season.

Pattinson later returned to the Australian Test team during the West Indies tour of Australia in December 2015. In his first Test match back, Pattinson achieved his fourth five wicket haul, taking 5/27, which equaled his previous best bowling figures. He also reverted to his old bowling action, which gives him more control and pace that touches close to 150 km/h, but at a risk of re-injuring his back.{{Cite web|title = Pattinson gambles on bowling action|url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-west-indies-2015-16/content/story/951925.html|website = ESPNcricinfo|access-date = 13 December 2015|date = 13 December 2015}}{{Cite web|title = Pattinson takes five as Australia crush West Indies|url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-west-indies-2015-16/content/story/951535.html|website = ESPNcricinfo|access-date = 13 December 2015|date = 12 December 2015}}
