Smith will have to wear an arm brace for six weeks before continuing his rehabilitation.

Warner and Smith are both serving 12-month Cricket Australia bans from international and domestic competition for their involvement in the South Africa ball-tampering scandal.

The suspensions expire on March 28, with Australia scheduled to play a five-match ODI series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates around the same time.
