Cricket Australia's most powerful figures have started discussions regarding Steve Smith and David Warner's reintegration, with a pair of One Day International Series against Pakistan looming large.

Smith and Warner's year‑long bans are set to expire in the middle of a five‑ match One Day International series that will run from March until early April.

Cricket Australia Chief Executive Kevin Roberts and national coach Justin Langer are both keen to focus on the task at hand, a four‑ Test series against India that continues on Boxing Day.

But Roberts and Langer, along with on‑field leaders, will soon settle on the path that Smith and Warner must follow as they bid to take part in Australia's World Cup and Ashes defence in England next year.

Australia and India’s International Cricket Test will begin at 12.30pm in Perth.
