Ashes: Josh Hazlewood set to miss second Test, Pat Cummins may return to action

Pat Cummins

Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood is set to miss the second Ashes Test at Brisbane, a pink-ball contest, while regular skipper Pat Cummins is likely to make a return after recovering from a back injury at The Gabba from December 4.

Hazlewood was ruled out of the Perth opener due to a hamstring issue suffered while playing in the Sheffield Shield. He will join the squad in Brisbane, and head coach Andrew McDonald expects him to be available later in the series.

McDonald said the team will take a late call on whether Cummins plays in Brisbane.
