Cricket Australia is hopeful of calling back Josh Hazlewood, considering that his injury is now recovered and is likely to take part in the Boxing Day Test against South Africa.

Earlier, Josh missed the critical winning Test match against West Indies and was also unavailable for the Test against South Africa which ended in just two days.

“Everything is ticking along nicely and going according to plan,” Hazlewood told Channel Seven.

“If I’m ticking the box on the 24th and bowling two spells of four or five overs with a break in between, that’s the final tick we’re looking for, then I’ll be available for selection hopefully.

“I’ll build it up over the next week and a half and tick that last box on the 24th hopefully. I’m not noticing the side at all, so fingers crossed.”
