Hazelwood has returned home from IPL due to side soreness.

[Brodlach]

He’d finished his IPL commitments anyway.

Hazelwood has returned home from IPL due to side soreness.

According to Cricinfo he's had scans and they didn't show any damage.

[DOC]

Was that the TEST fast bowler that could not play because he was injured? What come good for eight four over spurts and once again is hurt.

He has played four tests in two years. Bye.

Yep, can't be relied upon anymore

Jimmy Peirson is a step closer to a Baggy Green after Australia announced the wicketkeeper would join their Test squad ahead of the second Ashes Test at Lord's.

Josh Inglis, the squad's back-up gloveman behind first-choice keeper Alex Carey, will travel over for the beginning of the Aussies' UK tour before returning home to Perth for the birth of his first child with partner Megan.

Peirson will replace him in his absence, joining the squad after they have faced India in the World Test Championship at The Oval and England in the Ashes opener at Edgbaston. Australia say Inglis will rejoin the squad later in the series.

Peirson, who trained with the Test group in Brisbane last week, has impressed at domestic and Australia A level with his wicketkeeping, batting and his leadership nous.

The 30-year-old is considered one of the country's best pure keepers, while his returns with the bat have dramatically improved in recent times.

Is Alex Carey in doubt or will they make a late keeper change?

Is Alex Carey in doubt or will they make a late keeper change?

Probably need to name 2 keepers as the ICC want a squad named to pick from. Covering a major disaster to the regular

[The Dark Knight]

England have just named their squad for the first two Ashes tests.
Stokes (C), James Anderson, Jonathan Bairstow, Stuart Broad, Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Dan Lawrence, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts, Ollie Robinson, Joe Root, Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood

[carey]

I hope Broad snicks up Grub Warner 2-3 times early and ends his career the way it should end!

[RB]

I hope Warner makes plenty of runs as I like seeing Australia win test matches, particularly against England.

[The Dark Knight]

Josh Hazlewood has been ruled out of the WTC Final due to him still managing his Achilles and Side injuries. Michael Neser has joined the Australian squad, he and Sean Abbott have been training with the squad in the lead up.

[Armchair expert]

Can't trust him to last a test , I'd swap him with Neser for The Ashes as well

And Jack Leach has been ruled out of the Ashes with a back stress fracture.

Haha 100%, interesting to see who they replace him with, perhaps Rehan Ahmed.

In Warners words Broad has to be selected first
