Former Australian captain Michael Clarke has lashed out Australian selection committee on resting the Test players before the final ODI against Pakistan.

Australia lost a bilateral ODI series against Pakistan for the very first time since 2002. And it came after resting some of the biggest super stars of the game. The final ODI's nine-wicket defeat in Adelaide was Australia’s heaviest loss by wickets in an ODI at home since 1992.

Former Australian captain Michael Clarke, who led the Aussies through their fifth World Cup title in 2015 could not believe how the Aussie selectors have rested the star players.

“I’m just a bit confused, so 11 days between now and the first Test (in Perth), why can’t the Aussie boys who are part of this Test series play in the one-dayer?” he said on his Big Sports Breakfast radio show on Monday.

“If Australia had won the first two games, then you can understand why they rest their big fish, but it was series on the line.

“You can’t expect the fans to want to come and watch one-day cricket.

“We are bagging one-day cricket, no one is turning up, hasn’t got the interest.

“I feel like we obviously don’t care about losing that series.

“If you’re not going to care, we’re not going to care.”

Australia, however, will play three-match T20I series against Pakistan, which commences from Thursday, November 14 in Brisbane.
