Indian-born Australia's assistant coach Sridharan Sriram will not be travelling to Pakistan with the Aussies for their historic tour of the country.

Sriram has been associated with the Australian team as spin bowling consultant for more than three years. Cricbuzz has reported that Sriram will not be accompanying the Aussies to Pakistan.

Meanwhile, Cricket Australia (CA) has told the publication that they have been in talks with former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori to take up the position on an interim capacity but it is highly unlikely that a deal will be reached in time

It must be noted that Justin Langer also resigned from the head coach position recently and Andrew McDonald will serve as the interim head coach position on Pakistan.

Australia will play three Tests, three ODIs and one T20I from March 4 to April 5.
