Seamer Cross trained with the squad on Thursday and is expected to play in the four-day tour match against a Cricket Australia XI starting on Saturday.
Wicketkeeper Jones and left-arm seamer Farrant will arrive this weekend.
The trio, all of whom are playing club cricket in Australia, will be considered for the Test against Australia, which begins on 9 November.
Jones has played 20 one-day internationals and 15 Twenty20 internationals, while Farrant has played one ODI and nine T20s.
Australia, who lead the multi-format points-based series 4-2 after the three ODIs, need eight points to retain the Ashes.
Four points are available for the Test, while the three Twenty20s that follow are worth two points apiece.
