INTERNATIONAL: Australian cricketer Jhye Richardson will replace injured paceman Josh Hazlewood, but opener David Warner has been cleared to play against England in the second day-night Ashes test, Australia's cricket captain Pat Cummins said on Wednesday. Hazlewood was ruled out of Adelaide after suffering a side strain during Australia's nine-wicket win in the first test at the Gabba.

Australian Cricket Team Captain Pat Cummins says, "Josh (Hazlewood) is one of the best in the world, he's very hard to replace, but I think Jhye (Richardson) really is in that upper echelon. He's been bowling fantastically, so I don't think we'll see too much change."

He has added, “Yeah he'll be alright. He (David Warner) had a bat yesterday, batted with a bit of discomfort but knowing Dave he's not gonna miss this one, he'll be fine once adrenaline and everything kicks in so yeah all good, a little bit sore but he'll be fine."

Two-test Richardson beat out the uncapped pace veteran Michael Neser for the spot in Australia's attack with Cummins, Mitchell Starc and spinner Nathan Lyon. Lefthander Warner suffered a bruised rib after taking a few body blows during his 94 in Brisbane and appeared in some discomfort during a net session on Tuesday.

Cummins says, "Yeah, not an injury, it's not like a broken bone or anything that's going to get worse, it just might be a bit of discomfort but it's all split second decision making so I'm sure that'll all be fine."

However, Cummins said the 35-year-old would grind through with the help of a pain-killing injection, if necessary.
