Crotty scored New Zealand's opening try of the Championship in the first of two victories over Australia, as Steve Hansen's men retained the Bledisloe Cup.
The Crusaders centre missed the second clash through injury, with Anton Lienert-Brown coming in to make his debut.
However, Crotty is now fully recovered from his head knock and will don the number 12 shirt once again in Hamilton on Saturday.
"In selecting this team, we felt there was the need for consistency," Hansen said.
