Josh Hazlewood cleared from injury however Abbott out of Test
Hazlewood's career includes 295 wickets with an average of 24.21 runs per wicket in 76 Tests
The green light was given to Hazlewood to become part of the Aussie lineup for the first Ashes Test following fitness concerns, although compatriot Sean Abbott is unavailable
Both suffered hamstring issues during their match for NSW against Victoria during Sheffield Shield action on Wednesday
Medical examinations revealed the 34-year-old Hazlewood did not sustain a muscle strain. The 33-year-old Abbott, yet to debut, suffered a moderate-level injury
Team captain Cummins is unavailable for the first Test, starting November 21, meaning the absence of another established pace bowler such as Hazlewood would have been a significant setback
The bowler stood not expected to participate in Perth, as Hazlewood prepares to team up Starc and Boland as the specialist seamers
Cummins, currently healing from back issues, is thought to be scheduled to reappear for the second Test in Brisbane starting on 4 December
Top-order player Smith will lead Australia in Cummins' absence
Similar to most Australian cricketers, Hazlewood is involved in the current round of domestic cricket ahead of the Ashes
Before this week, he had not played a first-class match with his state team for over twelve months
He felt tightness in his leg muscle during the final stages of the match on Wednesday and was substituted taking preventive measures
Neither Hazlewood nor Abbott came out to bat during the follow-on innings during their defeat by 300 runs
"We have one week before the international cricket - we consistently choose the side of caution," stated the captain
"They wanted to find out what was happening prior to testing it and potentially making the condition"
"It's rare to get him chipper, so it was good to witness his smile"
"He's aware of his condition thoroughly. It seemed he felt slightly anxious (seeking to obtain it checked out"
The bowler collected 57 appearances with the national team in white-ball cricket
Without Test experience Brendan Doggett is the other seamer within the team, acting as backup for the primary fast bowlers
