Forgotten quick Josh Hazlewood is close to bowling at full pace and is increasingly confident he will be fit for Australia's World Test Championship final.

Despite leaving the Indian Premier League early due to a side issue, the 32-year-old was included in Australia's 15-man squad to face India at The Oval.

Hazlewood is ramping up his bowling loads at training and could surge into the XI for the WTC decider, starting on June 7.

"My fitness is pretty good and it is just a matter of ticking off every session from here," Hazlewood told the ICC website.

"We will probably have anywhere from three to four more sessions - bat versus ball and then a couple of longer days in the nets as well or centre wicket down in London - so it is just ticking off those last few boxes and pulling up well from every session.

"It was pretty close (to full pace in Tuesday's session).

"I came down for a little bowl (on Monday) just to loosen up and to get a bit more out of today's session, so it is feeling good."

Hazlewood has struggled for consistent time on the field and has been limited to four Tests for Australia since December 2021.

He did not play during Australia's four-Test tour of India in February and March, with his last five-day match coming against South Africa at the SCG in January.

Hazlewood is in the squad alongside fellow quicks Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland.

Australia went in with just one recognised fast bowler in three of the four Tests in India, but will rely heavily on pace during the WTC final and the upcoming Ashes.
