Meanwhile, Australia have suffered a major set back as their pace Josh Hazlewood on Saturday has been ruled out of the second Test against India — a day-night match — starting here on December 6 with a “low grade left side” injury. Australia are trailing 0-1 in the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a 295-run shellacking in the first Test at Perth.

Hazlewood has a fine record in Pink Ball Tests, as the 33-year-old has taken 5 for eight in five overs in the day-night Test against India here in the 2020-21 series when the visitors were bundled out for 36.

Abbott and Doggett have been coming on the back of good efforts in the Sheffield Shield matches recently. Doggett had picked up a five-wicket haul against Western Australia, and now has 11 wickets in three Shield matches. The pacer had also bagged his career-best figures of 6 for 15 in the A game against India A in McKay recently.
