Hazlewood given the all-clear from injury but Abbott ruled out of Ashes Test
Josh Hazlewood has taken 295 wickets maintaining an average of 24.21 in 76 Tests
The green light was given to Hazlewood to join Australia's squad for the initial Test against England post-injury worries, however, teammate Abbott is unavailable
Both suffered hamstring injuries during their match for NSW in the Victoria clash during Sheffield Shield action on Wednesday
Tests indicated Hazlewood, 34 did not sustain a muscle strain. The uncapped Abbott, 33, sustained a moderate-level injury
Captain Pat Cummins is unavailable for the opening Test, starting November 21, therefore missing of a key pace option such as Hazlewood would have been a serious concern
The bowler stood doubtful to feature at the Perth match, while Hazlewood will combine fellow quicks Starc and Boland as the primary pace attack
Cummins, currently healing from back issues, is thought to be on track to return for the second Test beginning December 4 in Brisbane
Top-order player Smith will lead Australia in Cummins' absence
Following other the Australia players, Hazlewood is involved in ongoing fixtures of domestic cricket in preparation for the Ashes
Until this match, he had not played domestic first-class games for New South Wales for over twelve months
He noticed discomfort in his posterior chain near the conclusion of the opposition's batting recently exiting the play for safety reasons
Both players came out to bat during New South Wales' second innings during their defeat in a substantial margin
"We have one week from the Test series - we consistently choose the side of caution," said Cummins
"The medical staff sought to identify the exact situation ahead of risking and possibly causing the condition"
"He seldom shows him chipper, making it encouraging to witness his smile"
"He's aware of his condition thoroughly. I think he was somewhat concerned (and) wanted to get medical assessment"
The bowler collected 57 appearances with the national team in limited-overs formats
The uncapped Brendan Doggett represents additional pace options within the team, providing cover for the main pace trio
