The 2018-19 Marsh Sheffield Shield player of the year has been in strong form for Victoria this summer with 15 wickets from two matches against New South Wales at an average of 10.

He played against the English Lions alongside Test debutant Michael Neser in Brisbane before joining the group in Adelaide.

Meanwhile, Hazlewood is racing against time to regain full fitness before the Boxing Day Test. The 30-year-old pacer had picked a side strain in the first Test and had to miss the Pink Ball Test.

Australia is 2-0 up in the ongoing Ashes after winning the second Test at the Adelaide Oval.
