injuries
MELBOURNE
Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood and England’s Mark Wood have been ruled out of the Ashes entirely after struggling with injuries.
McDonald confirmed the first-choice quick would not play any part in the five-test series against England after already missing the opening matches in Perth and Brisbane. “Really flat for him,” McDonald said on Tuesday. “A couple of setbacks that we didn’t see coming. We thought he’d play a huge part in the series. But really feel for him that he won’t get that opportunity.” Hazlewood suffered a hamstring strain before Perth and last week had a separate setback while working his way back.
