MELBOURNE, Dec 25 (Agencies): Australia coach Justin Langer said on Monday there is "potential" for Steve Smith and David Warner to feature in the One-day International series against Pakistan in the UAE just days after their ball-tampering suspensions are served."There's potential for that, but that's part of the process (to work through to reintegrate the banned players)," said Australian cricket coach Justin Langer quoted, cricket.com.au.
"There's lots of conversations going on about what's best for our bowlers, for the guys returning, and we'll work through that.
"We'll get the best outcome for Australian cricket and for them personally, but there's been no decisions made at this stage."
Smith and Warner were awarded one year-long suspensions after the infamous ball tampering incident in South Africa, the ban is to expire on March 29.
A five-match ODI series to be hosted by Pakistan has long been mooted for March next year as teams look to fine-tune for next year's World Cup in England. It had been pencilled in between March 15 and 29, but new reports suggest Pakistan has proposed hosting Australia from March 31 to April 13.
