Australia's Hazlewood Suffers Fresh Injury Setback
Hazlewood's Achilles soreness, reported during rehab from a hamstring strain, threatens his participation in the third Ashes Test and complicates Australia's pace-bowling plans.
- On Friday, Cricket Australia announced Josh Hazlewood is experiencing soreness in his Achilles, complicating rehabilitation from a previous hamstring strain and threatening his availability for the third Ashes Test in Adelaide.
- Hazlewood's rehab stems from a hamstring strain sustained playing for NSW against Victoria in the Sheffield Shield, and he stayed in Sydney instead of joining the Test side in Brisbane earlier this week.
- Australia are facing selection pressure as their first-choice pace trio may not play together, with Starc taking 16 wickets at 11.75 and Boland, Doggett, Neser used at the Gabba.
- Selectors face heightened pressure as they scrutinise Brendan Doggett and Michael Neser's roles for the next Test while holders Australia lead the five-test Ashes series 1-0 ahead of Adelaide Oval.
- It is a low-grade issue, and Hazlewood is expected to recommence running and bowling next week after having been in net sessions with Pat Cummins about one week ago.
