Steve Smith has been ruled out of Australia's upcoming limited-overs matches with Pakistan due to a recurrence of a left elbow injury, Cricket Australia said Saturday. The 32-year-old became the fastest batter to complete 8,000 runs during the final Test in Lahore that Australia won by 115 runs to clinch the series 1-0 on Friday.
Australia suffered a blow ahead of their upcoming ODI series and lone T20 against Pakistan with senior batter Steve Smith being ruled out with an elbow problem. Cricket Australia said on Friday night that Smith will miss the white-ball leg of the tour of Pakistan to manage discomfort in his left elbow. "Smith experienced some discomfort during the three-match Test series and, with a full schedule of international cricket over the coming 18 months, it was felt prudent to prioritise recovery and treatment at this time," a CA statement said.

Steve Smith will miss the one-day and T20 matches against Pakistan to manage a left elbow injury, the team said on Saturday. Smith experienced some discomfort during the latter stages of Australia's 1-0 win in the three-match Test series against Pakistan, team physiotherapist Alex Kontouris said. “Given he had an injury with the same elbow last year, we felt it important to manage this proactively," Kontouris said in a statement.
MELBOURNE : Australia batsman Steve Smith will miss the one-day and T20 matches against Pakistan to manage a left elbow injury, the team said on Saturday.
Pakistan eventually succumbed in front of the world's top Test side, as they suffered yet another middle and lower order collapse to hand Australia a 115-run win in the third and final Test match in Lahore, which gave Pat Cummins and his team a Test series win on Pakistani soil after 24 years. Nathan Lyon picked up a five-wicket haul on a pitch that had suffered a lot of wear and tear through the five days, while skipper Cummins chipped in with 3 wickets.

Lyon took five wickets to help Australia beat Pakistan by 115 runs in the final session of the deciding third Test in Lahore and clinch the three-match series 1-0 on Friday. The 34-year-old took the prized wickets of Imam-ul-Haq, Azhar Ali and Babar Azam to end Pakistan's resistance and finished with figures of 5-83 in Pakistan's second innings. Fast bowler Pat Cummins provided ample support by picking up three wickets as Pakistan folded for 235 on the final day of the Test match at the Gaddafi Stadium, chasing a target of 351. As it happened: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd TestPakistan captain Babar, who saved the hosts from the jaws of defeat in the second Test in Karachi with a 196 in the second innings, made 55. Cummins dismissed Fawad Alam and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, who also struck an unbeaten 104 in the second innings of the drawn Karachi Test, in successive overs with both batters falling leg before wicket. Television replays, however, showed Rizwan would have survived if he had asked for a review of the umpire's decision.
