Queensland fast bowler Mark Steketee has been added to Australia’s squad to tour Pakistan next month.
Steketee replaces Michael Neser, who was forced to withdraw from the tour after suffering a side strain in Queensland’s Marsh Cup match against New South Wales on Monday.
The uncapped 28-year-old is the leading wicket-taker in the Sheffield Shield this season with 29 scalps in five games at an average of 16.31.
South Australian paceman Brendan Doggett has been named as a standby player for the tour.
Australia’s first tour of Pakistan since 1998 includes three Tests, three ODIs and one T20I. The first Test in Rawalpindi starts on March 4.
