Johnson rules out of fourth Test
He had picked up the injury during the third Test in Melbourne.
Team's Support Staff physiotherapist Alex Kountouris was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au: "Mitchell had some right hamstring soreness during the Boxing Day Test and we have been closely monitoring his recovery since that match but feel he has not fully recovered."
Coach Darren Lehmann added: "Mitchell is an important part of our plans for the remainder of our summer and we want him 100 per cent right so won’t be taking any risks with him."
"We believe it is best for Mitchell to take this opportunity to freshen up and get his body fully fit ahead of the tri-series."
Australia have already clinched the series. They are 2-0 up in the series.
