Photo: PAInjured Australian paceman Josh Hazlewood was on Monday ruled out of the second Ashes Test against England in Adelaide this week, with Jhye Richardson or Michael Neser in line to replace him. The 30-year-old suffered a side strain during Australia’s nine-wicket thumping of the visitors in the opening Test at Brisbane and has returned home to rest. The explosive opener scored 94 in Brisbane but didn’t bat in Australia’s second innings when just 20 runs were needed to win. Cummins said after the Test that he expected Warner to recover in time, with the experienced Usman Khawaja waiting in the wings should he not be fit.
