Bengaluru, August 5: Pacer James Pattinson has been ruled out of the Qantas Tour of Bangladesh due to inflammation in his back.
A Cricket Australia spokesperson said the move to withdraw the Victorian from the 14-man squad is a precautionary measure aimed at allowing him best preparation for the Ashes this summer, reported the cricket.com.au.
Pattinson will continue light duties and is expected to resume full training loads in around four weeks. Tasmanian Jackson Bird has replaced Pattinson in the squad to tour Bangladesh.
The spokesperson said the inflammation in Pattinson's back is around the area where he has previously suffered a stress fracture. While there is no stress fracture on this occasion, he has been withdrawn as a precaution to allow him to recover in time for the summer.
Earlier on Saturday, national selectors announced that uncapped leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson had been added to the 14-man squad for his second overseas trip with the Test side after he was a shock inclusion for the tour of India earlier this year.
The loss of Pattinson comes after fellow quick Mitchell Starc was ruled out of the two-Test series two months ago due to a foot injury.
The bowling load in Bangladesh will be carried by quicks Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Bird as well as spinners Nathan Lyon, Ashton Agar and Swepson.
