Australia rest bowler Josh Hazlewood for the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.

Australia bowler Josh Hazlewood has been rested for the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.

The 24-year-old has taken 16 wickets at an average of 25.75 during the current series in England.

However, coach Darren Lehmann has revealed that concerns over Hazlewood's workload and "niggling problems" mean that he will not feature in the final Test.

"Josh has played six Tests since the West Indies tour and the last nine Tests for Australia, as well as playing an important part in the World Cup," Lehmann is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"He has managed to get through this period without any major injury which is pleasing, though currently he does have some niggling problems that we would like to manage.

"As such, he was not considered for selection for the fifth Test. On his return to Australia his niggles will be investigated further and he will work with our coaches, and our medical and fitness staff to have him prepared for the next series he is selected to play in."

England captain Alastair Cook revealed on Wednesday that James Anderson would miss the final match of the series after failing to recover from a side strain.
