Star Australian fast bowler Sean Abbott on Wednesday (November 12) was ruled out of the first Test of the 2025-26 Ashes series. The first match of this year\u2019s Ashes series will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth from November 21 to 25. According to Fox Sports, Abbott, who was included in Australia\u2019s squad for the Ashes opener, has been ruled out due to a \u201cmoderate grade hamstring injury” that he suffered while playing for New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield match against Victoria at Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In addition to Abbott, Josh Hazlewood also suffered an injury scare in the ongoing New South Wales-Victoria at the SCG, but he has been cleared of serious injury after undergoing scans.<\/p>\n

Cricket Australia on Wednesday confirmed that Hazlewood would join the Australian squad as planned in Perth ahead of the Ashes opener despite reporting \u201ctightness in his right hamstring”.<\/p>\n

\u201cJosh Hazlewood will join the Australian squad as planned in the Perth Ashes Test,” a Cricket Australia release confirmed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHazlewood left the field late in Victoria\u2019s innings at the SCG today, reporting tightness in his right hamstring. He underwent precautionary scans which have cleared him of muscle strain. He will train as planned in the lead-up to the first Test in Perth.”<\/p>\n

\u201cSean Abbott also left the field, having reported left hamstring soreness. Scans confirmed a moderate-grade hamstring injury. He will not be available for selection for the first Test match in Perth, and his return-to-play plan will be developed over the coming weeks,” the release added.<\/p>\n

Despite getting clearance to join the squad, if Hazlewood fails to feature in the first Test, then\u00a0South Australian fast bowler Brendan Doggett will get a chance to make Test debut in Perth.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been bowling really well the last couple of games from what I\u2019ve seen,” Pat Cummins was quoted as saying by Fox Sports about Doggett.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe missed the first (Sheffield Shield) game or two, but he\u2019s come back really strongly. He\u2019s really well placed to be vying for a spot in that first Test. It\u2019s always nice to have a squad full of people in form, and he\u2019s certainly one of those guys.”<\/p>\n

Cummins, who will miss the first Test in Perth, also confirmed that he is still aiming to be available for the second Ashes Test, which will be played at The Gabba from December 4 to 8.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re building towards,” he said.<\/p>\n
