Josh Hazlewood cleared from fitness concerns however Abbott ruled out of Ashes Test
Hazlewood's career includes 295 international wickets at an average of 24.21 during his 76-Test career
The green light was given to Hazlewood to become part of Australia's squad ahead of the opening Ashes match post-injury worries, although compatriot the paceman will miss the match
The two experienced muscle problems playing for New South Wales versus Victoria in the Sheffield Shield on Wednesday
Tests indicated Hazlewood, 34 did not sustain a muscle strain. Abbott, 33, who hasn't played Tests, suffered a "moderate grade" injury
Skipper Pat Cummins is unavailable for the first Test, commencing later this month, meaning the absence of another established pace bowler in Hazlewood could have proven a serious concern
The bowler stood unlikely to play during the Western Australia Test, with Hazlewood set to join Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland as the primary pace attack
Cummins, currently healing from back issues, appears to be likely to comeback for the second Test in Brisbane starting on 4 December
Batsman Steve Smith will lead Australia in Cummins' absence
Following other Australian cricketers, Hazlewood is involved in the current round of state games building up to the England series
Prior to recently, he hadn't featured domestic first-class games with his state team for over twelve months
He experienced stiffness in his leg muscle towards the end of Victoria's second innings on Wednesday and left the field as a precaution
The two bowlers participated in batting for their team's second batting effort as they lost by 300 runs
"We have one week until the Test matches - always err on being cautious," commented Cummins
"They wanted to find out the nature of the problem before pushing it that could worsen the injury more severe"
"Uncommon to see him upbeat, therefore it was positive to see him smiling"
"He knows his body extremely well. It seemed he felt slightly anxious (seeking to obtain it checked out"
Abbott earned 57 international selections with the national team in limited-overs formats
The yet-to-debut the pace bowler is the other seamer in the squad, acting as backup for the primary fast bowlers
