Australia's regular 50-over skipper Pat Cummins and vice-captain Travis Head are already absent from the ODI series, beginning in Rawalpindi on Saturday, because of IPL commitments.
Lahore will host the remaining two ODIs on June 2 and 4.
Wicketkeeper-batter Inglis led Australia in November 2024, also against Pakistan, when many first-choice players were absent.
Australia will go on a white-ball tour of Bangladesh after playing in Pakistan. Pace spearheads Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc will miss both tours.
