Hazlewood’s injury was confirmed in a statement by Cricket Australia.
Australia's Josh Hazlewood has been ruled out of the remainder of the third Test against India at the Gabba after suffering a right calf strain on 17 December.
The pace bowler is also expected to miss the rest of the Test series, further depleting the hosts' bowling attack.
Hazlewood's injury was confirmed in a statement by Cricket Australia, which said: "He will miss the rest of the current Test. He is likely to miss the remainder of the Test series. A squad replacement will be made in due course."

The injury comes as a fresh setback for the 33-year-old, who also missed the second Test in Adelaide with a side strain.
Hazlewood managed to bowl just six overs during India's first innings in Brisbane before leaving the field, though he did claim the key wicket of Virat Kohli.
Australia will now need to adjust their bowling options for the remainder of the series, with the management expected to name a replacement soon.
