Pace bowler James Pattinson will miss Australia's remaining four Tests this season with a side strain, Cricket Australia (CA) said in a release.
Pattinson failed to complete his over and left the field for scans on a side strain during Saturday's third day's play of the second Test match against South Africa.
IANS reported, the 22-year-old, playing his seventh Test, will take no further part in Australia's remaining Test against the Proteas in Perth and the three-Test home series against Sri Lanka.
