According to Cricket Australia, although their pain is minor, they are avoiding any risk in view of the international engagements of the next 18 months and Mitchell Swapson has been included in the White Ball squad as an alternative.
The services of a league spinner selected only for Test matches have been acquired in view of the slow puzzles in Pakistan as Smith's space-filled batsmen already exist.
Earlier, Ken Richardson was also ruled out of the series due to injury.
