Hazlewood and Cummins are in the selection frame for NSW against Queensland for Monday's one-day clash at Drummoyne Oval.

"I had a good hit-out last week in grade cricket which was my first game for about five months so I am ready to get going and start playing some games," Cummins said in a statement on Sunday.

"The first few months I wasn't doing too much, just making sure everything healed properly and thankfully it did."

Hazlewood, who was last week named join vice-captain of the Test team with Mitch Marsh, and Cummins are aiming to return to international cricket in Australia's one-day match against South Africa on November 4 in Perth.
