Quick bowler Brendan Doggett has been released from Australia's Test squad to be available for Adelaide Strikers in the opening week of the BBL.

Doggett was called up to the squad ahead of the second Test against India after Josh Hazlewood suffered a side strain and remained with the group for Brisbane.

However, he was not expected to feature in Strikers' opening game against Sydney Thunder in Canberra on Tuesday. He only played one game for Strikers last season.

Sean Abbott was added alongside Doggett but returned to Sydney earlier for the birth of his second child and played for Sydney Sixers in their opening game against Melbourne Renegades.
