Steve Smith says the absence of Marnus Labuschagne in the Australia team that lost Friday's one-day international against Sri Lanka by a record margin is not a pointer to the Champions Trophy.
The acting captain said the teams for both matches, which included all 16 squad members, had been chosen before the first game of the two-match series that Australia lost heavily in Colombo.
"We obviously changed up the two teams over the two games and everyone had a little bit of a run at it," Smith said after Australia's 2-0 defeat was sealed on Friday.
