Australia's fast-bowling resources have taken another major hit ahead of the Ashes series, with ace pacer Josh Hazlewood ruled out of the first Test in Perth, as reported by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The setback follows the earlier unavailability of Australia's regular captain and fast bowler Pat Cummins, who is recovering from a back injury and will miss at least the opening Test.
