Josh Hazlewood has been ruled out of the first Ashes Test. A second scan on the hamstring injury he initially reported during the recent Sheffield Shield match between New South Wales and Victoria found a low-grade tear.
The news came hours after England announced that scans on Mark Wood, whose own participation in the opening Test had been thrown into doubt when he reported stiffness in his left hamstring on the first day of their warm-up game against the Lions at Lilac Hill, had found no damage.
