Josh Hazlewood given the all-clear from fitness concerns however Abbott ruled out of Test
Hazlewood's career includes 295 international wickets at an average of 24.21 across 76 Test matches
The green light was given to Hazlewood to become part of the Aussie lineup ahead of the opening Ashes match after an injury scare, however, teammate the paceman will miss the match
Both suffered muscle problems during their match for their state team versus Victoria during Sheffield Shield action on Wednesday
Scans showed Hazlewood (34) did not sustain tissue injury. The 33-year-old Abbott, yet to debut, has a "moderate grade" injury
Team captain Cummins is out of the first Test, beginning on 21 November, so the loss of a key pace option in Hazlewood might have represented a significant setback
Abbott would have been unlikely to play during the Western Australia Test, while Hazlewood will combine fellow quicks Starc and Boland as the primary pace attack
Cummins, who is recovering from a back injury, is thought to be on track to return for the Brisbane match beginning December 4 in Brisbane
Batsman Steve Smith takes over leadership during the captain's recovery

"There's seven days until the Test matches - we consistently choose the side of caution," commented Cummins
"They wanted to find out the exact situation ahead of risking that could worsen the condition"
"It's rare to get him chipper, making it encouraging observing his positive demeanor"
"He knows his body extremely well. I think he was slightly anxious (seeking to obtain it checked out"
Abbott has won 57 appearances with the national team in ODI and T20 cricket
