Hazlewood sustained a hamstring injury while representing New South Wales in their Sheffield Shield match against Victoria at the Sydney Cricket Ground earlier in the week. Initial medical tests cleared the veteran fast bowler of any major damage. However, scans conducted on Saturday confirmed the strain.
“Josh Hazlewood underwent repeat imaging today that has confirmed a hamstring strain injury. Initial scans Wednesday were clear of muscle strain however follow-up imaging today has confirmed the injury."
Brendan Doggett Expected to Make Test Debut in Perth
Josh Hazlewood has been ruled out after scans confirmed a hamstring strain. Pat Cummins has been out of action for over three months due to a lower back injury sustained against the West Indies. He is targeting a return for the second Test in Brisbane in December.
Uncapped pacer Brendan Doggett, who has impressed with two five-wicket hauls for South Australia since returning from injury, is expected to make his Test debut in Perth.
England Fast Bowler Mark Wood Doubtful Ahead of Ashes Opener
England fast bowler Mark Wood is also doubtful ahead of the Ashes opener in Perth. The 35-year-old pacer underwent scans after leaving the field with hamstring stiffness during England’s warm-up game at Lilac Hill, where he bowled eight wicketless overs.
England are expected to manage Wood cautiously, given his history of injury setbacks and the long Ashes series ahead. The Three Lions last won a Test series on Australian soil in 2010-11. However, they have struggled in recent away Ashes campaigns.
