Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood has declared himself ready to return from a side strain that ended his Ashes series after the first Test in early December.
Having endured the bitterness of watching his teammates trample England 4-0, Hazlewood said he has no doubts about the five Twenty20 matches against Sri Lanka next month.
The 31-year-old Tej, who was recently named in the ICC Men's T20 Team of the Year, admitted that it was a "disappointing" period on the personal front with the injury.
"I am definitely back for the Sri Lanka T20," Hazlewood said ahead of the series starting February 11 in Sydney.
"I have a couple of weeks up my sleeve to recover and should be fine."
With a hectic international schedule this year, which includes a three-format tour of Pakistan in March and a domestic T20 World Cup campaign in October, Hazlewood knows he has to manage his workload.
"I think it is very impossible for Australia to play all the games," he said.
"We have to prioritize - whether it's a red ball over a white ball or vice versa or depending on the way your body travels.
"As far as time away from home and bubble fatigue, hopefully setting aside some time to come home for a week or two in and around those series."
If the positive came from Hazlewood's absence against England, it was the Test emergence of veteran Victorian seamer Scott Boland, who scalped 18 wickets in three matches and became a cult hero.
Hazlewood was happy for the popular 32-year-old, despite additional competition looming ahead.
"Scotty was awesome. It's nice to see him - he's the best man in Australian cricket, I think," he said.
"It was quite nerve-wracking to beat my baggie in Melbourne. Seeing that he went into not only that game, but the rest of the series was awesome."
