SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia quick Josh Hazlewood intends to continue playing international cricket in all formats despite missing the entire Ashes series because of injury.
At 34, Hazlewood was one of a half dozen Australia players who were considered to be approaching the twilight, and maybe the end, of their test careers during the Ashes series.
Hazlewood's involvement ended up being stymied by a hamstring injury on the eve of the series, compounded by an Achilles problem as he returned to bowling with the squad.
Despite missing out on the series, Hazlewood said he was determined to continue to represent his country with both red ball and white.
"Yeah absolutely," he told Sydney's Daily Telegraph. "My body still feels as strong as ever. It's just little things here and there that creep in. I'm still determined to play three formats as best I can.
"You're still going to miss the odd game here and there, no one can do it all, unless you're a batter, but I still enjoy all the different demands of the three formats.
"It keeps it fresh getting ready and preparing for each different format."
Having been ruled out of the last three Ashes tests, Hazlewood will now turn his focus to getting fully match fit for Australia's Twenty20 World Cup campaign in India and Sri Lanka early next year.
"Once you're injured mid-series or just before a series starts, you're chasing your tail a lot of the time anyway," he added.
"I probably could have got back for one or two tests with the hamstring, but then you leave yourself quite vulnerable going into a test match on the back of not much.
"Every day you're not bowling is another day you've got to bowl to get back to where you were.
"Obviously things are easier when you're up and going and you've got some good work under you."
Norris used an expletive as he spoke alongside newly-reelected FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, who has cracked down on drivers swearing and jokingly replied '10,000'.
"I got fined. But I can pay it off now," said Norris.
Four-times champion Verstappen was awarded the F1 Action of the Year in his absence for his overtake on Piastri in the opening lap of the Imola race.
"I'm very sorry that I couldn't be with you tonight. The doctors have prevented me from flying," said the Dutch driver in a recorded message.
"A big congratulations to McLaren and especially Lando. You guys had an unbelievable season, and it was really cool to be able to race against you guys until the end."
