Adam Zampa admitted a depleted Australia face a "difficult challenge" in the one-day international series against Pakistan starting on Tuesday. Australia won the three-match Test series 1-0 after securing a well earned 115-run victory in the third match in Lahore on Friday. But they will miss regulars like David Warner, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell -- all not in the squad for multiple reasons -- in the one-day series. To add to their woes, senior batsman Steve Smith was also ruled out of the limited-overs series with a recurrence of an elbow injury. But Zampa believes it's an opportunity to build the squad.

Australia would have been extremely anxious after Pakistan reached 73 for no loss in pursuit of a 351-run target at stumps on Day 4 of the third and final Test at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. However, the visitors fought back well on Day 5 on Friday to put themselves back in contention. Cameron Green struck early to dismiss Abdullah Shafique in the fourth over of the day on his overnight score of 27. Nathan Lyon and Pat Cummins then took over to rattle the Pakistanis.
