Jhye Richardson will work with Glenn McGrath at the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai during an 18-day camp as part of his rehabilitation process after suffering a dislocated shoulder earlier in the year. 

The young Australian pacer wishes to make it to nation's Ashes squad in UK towards the later part of the series, possibly ahead of the fourth Test in Old Trafford. 

The Aussies will play a three-day tour match against county side Derbyshire from August 29 before the fourth Test gets underway on September 4.

Richardson, part of the National Performance Squad, is set to play three one-day games and three Twenty20 matches against MRF academy teams, besides getting to train under McGrath, who is the director of the pace foundation. 

The 22-year-old already had a comeback to competitive cricket in Darwin's Premier Cricket 50-over competition in late July and has joined the Chris Rogers-coached NPS squad in Brisbane before they head to Chennai this weekend.

"He is bowling off his full run and has good shoulder function. The plan is for him to play matches in both formats while on tour and we expect he will be able to bowl however many overs are required," Australia physiotherapist Kevin Sims was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.

Richardson, even before his comeback in Darwin, had said he wants to play the Ashes. 

"The plan is to get over to England for the Ashes and this is sort of the first step in seeing how I go," he was quoted as saying in the NT News.

"The plan moving forward is to get up for the back end of the series. And with a five-game stint pretty testing on fast bowlers, just to be available for the back end will be quite important."

Richardson picked up the injury after playing two Tests against Sri Lanka at home and was subsequently ruled out of the World Cup. However, he has been bowling off the full run-up since the second week of July. 

"I'll definitely be bowling as quickly as I can. This is quite an important step in getting back to play, so I'll be trying my heart out to prove to myself and my own confidence that my shoulder is going OK," he had said. 

"And give a little faith to everyone else that everything is going pretty well and the shoulder feels good. Obviously, the last thing to come back is throwing."
