Adam Zampa admitted a depleted Australia face a "difficult challenge" in the one-day international series against Pakistan starting on Tuesday.

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.
