Just when the selectors were considering him for the Ashes, he was sidelined with a stress fracture which sidelined him for three months.

He had to miss the Big Bash League due to stress fractures in his lower back and also a hamstring injury which sidelined him for nine months.

Ever since making it to the Australian team way back in 2013, he has only played 21 ODI's and 19 T20's in his career. His career is also under threat due to his continued injury breakdowns.

He has undergone many rehabilitation activities for the ailment of injuries. He has been diagnosed with bone stress injury, hamstring injury, a shoulder injury and many more in the past. These injuries have also threatened to derail his career.

He will look to change his bowling action and also revamp his fitness so as to be in the contention for a place in Australia's 2019 World Cup squad.
