Injured Hazlewood Ruled Out Of Ashes, Cummins Set For Comeback

By IANS News December 09, 2025 • 09:44 AM View: 375

Coach Andrew McDonald: Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood will miss the rest of the series after suffering an injury setback while Pat Cummins appears certain to captain Australia in the third Test in Adelaide.

Coach Andrew McDonald confirmed on Tuesday that Hazlewood, who sustained a hamstring strain while bowling in the Sheffield Shield last month and then suffered a setback when he hurt his Achilles last week, would not feature against England this summer.

Hazlewood will instead focus on recovering in time for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup that commences on February 7.
