The bowler has claimed 295 international wickets maintaining an average of 24.21 across 76 Test matches
Josh Hazlewood has been cleared to link up with the Aussie lineup for the initial Test against England following fitness concerns, however, teammate Abbott will miss the match

Medical examinations revealed Hazlewood, 34 avoided tissue injury. Abbott, 33, who hasn't played Tests, has a significant hamstring issue
Captain Pat Cummins is out of the initial match, commencing later this month, meaning the absence of a key pace option such as Hazlewood might have represented a serious concern
The bowler stood unlikely to play at the Perth match, with Hazlewood set to join fellow quicks Starc and Boland as the specialist seamers
Cummins, currently healing from a back injury, appears to be scheduled to reappear during the next Test beginning December 4 in Brisbane
Batter Steve Smith will lead Australia in Cummins' absence

Neither Hazlewood nor Abbott participated in batting for the follow-on innings in a losing cause by 300 runs

"They needed to determine what was happening prior to testing it that could worsen the condition"
"It's rare to get him cheerful, so it was good observing his positive demeanor"
"He understands his physique extremely well. I think he was slightly anxious (seeking to obtain it checked out"
Abbott has won 57 caps for Australia in limited-overs formats
The uncapped the pace bowler is the other seamer in the squad, acting as backup for Starc, Boland and Hazlewood
