Aussies cruelled by fresh injury blow with Josh Hazlewood set to be ruled out of remainder of the series

Josh Hazlewood is set to be ruled out of the remainder of the India series after suffering a calf injury on the fourth morning of the third Test at the Gabba.

Hazlewood bowled just one over before the drinks break before he was forced from the field.

At drinks, Hazlewood was involved in a long conversation with skipper Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, and physio Nick Jones before he came from the field.

He also looked to have been stretching his side.

But in a brief statement, Cricket Australia said Hazlewood would undergo scans.

Confirmation later came through that he is unlikely to play the remainder of the series.

"Josh Hazlewood has sustained a right-sided calf strain which will prevent him from playing any further part in the NRMA Insurance Test match against India in Brisbane," the statement read.

"He sustained the injury during the warm up this morning and after bowling one over was unable to continue.

"He is likely to miss the remainder of the Test series. A squad replacement will be made in due course."

Hazlewood had missed the first few overs, with Josh Inglis sub-fielding in his place.

Should he be ruled out for Boxing Day, Hazlewood will likely be replaced by Scott Boland on his home turf at the MCG.
