Hazlewood Cleared For Ashes Opener After Injury Scare; Abbott Ruled Out
Josh Hazlewood: Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood has been cleared of major injury, while Sean Abbott will not be available for selection for the series opener due to a “moderate grade hamstring injury.”
Hazlewood and Abbott were both sent for medical scans after pulling up sore on day three of NSW's Sheffield Shield game against Victoria. Neither of the seamers, who have bowled nine overs, returned to the field after lunch on Wednesday afternoon.
However, Hazlewood, a key member of the Aussie pace attack for the series opener against England in Perth in the absence of injured skipper Pat Cummins, underwent precautionary scans, which have cleared him of muscle strain.
