Australian frontline quick Josh Hazlewood and Ashes squad member Sean Abbott have both been forced to leave the field during NSW’s Sheffield Shield match against Victoria, which could have major consequences for the first Test starting in nine days.

Hazlewood, who has been injury-prone in the past, and Abbott are both receiving treatment for hamstring-related concerns at the SCG.

The pair were both spotted leaving the ground on day three of the Sheffield Shield game against Victoria and going to a nearby clinic to be assessed.

With skipper Pat Cummins already out for the Perth Test, losing both Hazlewood and Abbott would be a devastating blow for Australia.

Neither Cricket Australia or Cricket NSW could confirm the specifics of the injury concerns on Wednesday.
