Hazlewood cleared of fitness concerns however Abbott ruled out of Test
Hazlewood's career includes 295 Test scalps at an average of 24.21 runs per wicket during his 76-Test career
Hazlewood received clearance to become part of the Australian team for the initial Test against England following fitness concerns, however, teammate Sean Abbott is unavailable
The two experienced hamstring issues while representing their state team against Victoria during Sheffield Shield action on Wednesday
Tests indicated the 34-year-old Hazlewood avoided tissue injury. The 33-year-old Abbott, yet to debut, sustained a "moderate grade" injury
Skipper Pat Cummins is unavailable for the first Test, starting November 21, therefore missing of another established pace bowler such as Hazlewood might have represented a serious concern
Abbott would have been doubtful to feature during the Western Australia Test, while Hazlewood will combine Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland forming the fast bowling unit
The captain, rehabilitating from spinal concerns, appears to be scheduled to reappear for the Brisbane match commencing December fourth
Top-order player Smith will lead Australia in Cummins' absence
Like many of the Australia players, Hazlewood participated in recent matches of state games building up to the historic rivalry
Before this week, he had not played red-ball cricket with his state team for over twelve months
He felt tightness in his leg muscle towards the end of Victoria's second innings on Wednesday and left the field for safety reasons
Neither Hazlewood nor Abbott came out to bat during New South Wales' second innings during their defeat by 300 runs
"We have one week from the Test series - always err on the side of caution," commented Cummins
"They needed to determine the exact situation before pushing it and possibly causing the condition"
"He seldom shows him chipper, so it was good to witness his smile"
"He's aware of his condition extremely well. He appeared slightly anxious (and) wanted to get medical assessment"
The bowler collected 57 appearances with the national team in ODI and T20 cricket
The uncapped Doggett provides bowling backup within the team, providing cover for Starc, Boland and Hazlewood
