Australia are confident Josh Hazelwood will play again in the home Test summer after the seamer was ruled out of the series opener against South Africa with a sidestrain.
The hosts had a mixed morning on the injury front on Monday, with captain Pat Cummins declared almost certain to play at the Gabba after bowling six pain-free overs in the Adelaide Oval nets.
The 29-year-old later said he was a "100 per cent" starter, with medical staff also confident and ready to give him the final tick of approval later in the week.
