On the fourth day at the Gabba, he left the field early after only managing to throw down one over.
Scott Boland is expected to return to the team for the Boxing Day Test at the MCG after Josh Hazlewood pulled his calf during warm-ups on the fourth day in Brisbane, possibly missing the rest of the Test series against India.
Hazlewood, who made his comeback in this game after missing Adelaide due to a side strain, arrived late to the field on Tuesday after spending some time chatting with head coach Andrew McDonald and physio Nick Jones. He appeared exhausted when he entered the attack, barely reaching 131 kph, including a wide long hop first ball that was cut away by KL Rahul.
