Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has been ruled out of the second Test against India in Adelaide, where the hosts have called up Sean Abbott and Brendan Doggett.
Hazlewood suffered a “low-grade left side injury” but will remain with the squad to prepare for the rest of the five-match series.
The 33-year-old took five wickets in the first Test in Perth, including a first-innings four, as Australia won by 295 runs in four days.

Sky Sports’ Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain discuss whether Indian seamer Jasprit Bumrah is the best all-format cricketer in the world.
Scott Boland is the most likely replacement for Hazlewood in the daytime at Adelaide Oval from December 6, having been a reserve player in the original team.
Abbott has played 46 white-ball matches for Australia (26 one-day internationals and 20 T20 internationals) but is yet to feature in a Test, while Doggett is absent at international level.
Abbott took 261 first-class wickets in 87 matches, with Doggett taking 142 in 40 matches.
Bo Webster had already been added to the Australian squad as cover for Mitchell Marsh
Australia had already called in all-rounder Beau Webster as injury cover for Mitchell Marsh after the latter was out in pain having bowled 17 overs in the first Test.
