O’Keefe was pulled from the Sydney Sixers side and did not travel with the squad to Adelaide ahead of Saturday’s BBL clash.

It is unlikely Australia will select two spinners for the final Test although Australian captain Steve Smith did not rule it out.

 “We’ve had a quick chat to Boof and Trevor Hohns last night,” Smith told ABC Grandstand on Friday morning. “I think we’re going to wait until this Test match is over and see where things are at moving forward.

“Obviously the bowlers have bowled quite a lot this game and they’ve had a pretty big summer, so there’s a few things to talk about.

“I guess it will depend on the wicket. I know in Shield cricket this year that wickets have been spinning quite a lot. We’ll look at that. It is a possibility.”
