Smith ruled out

1st ODI Tuesday from 9pm AEDT

Smith ruled of limited-overs matches against Pakistan due to elbow issue

Australia opt to manage Smith's ongoing elbow problem with rest. Meanwhile, legspinner Mitchell Swepson called into the squad to bolster the bowling stocks

Steven Smith has been ruled out of Australia's upcoming limited-overs matches with Pakistan due to discomfort in his previously troubled left elbow.

Australia's selectors believe they have enough batting in the squad to cover Smith's absence but have opted to add legspinner Mitchell Swepson to the squad as another bowling option.

Smith will fly home from Pakistan alongside Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and David Warner with all four resting following the 1-0 Test series victory. Glenn Maxwell is also absent from Australia's white-ball squad after getting married last week.

Australia squad: Aaron Finch (c), Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorff, Alex Carey, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, Ben McDermott, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Swepson, Adam Zampa

Swepson is not a white ball bowler imo, too many shit deliveries

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Levers now out. Cameron Green will replace Mitch Marsh in the team.

Why are these injuries and illnesses affecting everyone except Finch? Not even a dose of baldness.

 

[Twizzle]

Renshaw is a bit of a shock

 

[TheParraboy]

Why are these injuries and illnesses affecting everyone except Finch? Not even a dose of baldness.

Possibly his last year in international white ball cricket

Lets embrace the Finch

Lack of Khawaja or Warner is weird.
I guess Davey is off to IPL. Khawaja could have stuck around for a few days.
