Legendary Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood, who was considered to be an asset for the Aussies in the upcoming Ashes tour, has been assessed for a potential hamstring injury. He might be the second hammering for the Australians after skipper Pat Cummins.

The Ashes will be underway from the 21st of November, and the Australians will be defending their title on their home soil against a stronger English side, who have reportedly loaded their most lethal pace attack.

On the other hand, the Aussies have suffered multiple blows before the start of the crucial series.
