US EditionHazlewood out of Ashes series; Cummins set to return for Australia
Josh Hazlewood's hamstring and Achilles injuries end his Ashes run; Pat Cummins returns for the Third Test with Nathan Lyon likely recalled, coach McDonald said.
- On Tuesday, Australia coach Andrew McDonald confirmed Josh Hazlewood has been officially ruled out of the remainder of the Ashes series, missing the three remaining Tests.
- After attempting a comeback from a hamstring problem, Hazlewood suffered an Achilles tendon injury last week, following missed Tests in the Sri Lanka tour earlier this year and India home series last summer.
- The veteran sits ninth on Australia's all-time Test wicket list and is five wickets away from 300 Test wickets, but injuries have thwarted him in recent years and forced him to watch from afar as Australia took a 2-0 series lead at the Gabba last week.
- Selectors will choose among Scott Boland, Brendan Doggett and Michael Neser for Adelaide, as one will retain a pace spot with Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon likely recalled.
- There was better news for skipper Pat Cummins, who is expected to return for the Third Test in Adelaide starting Dec. 17, while McDonald said Hazlewood will target the Twenty20 World Cup early next year.
