Josh Hazlewood, who complained of side pain upon returning from the IPL 2023, has been found to be damage-free and is now eligible for selection for both the World Test Championship match against India and the ensuing Ashes. Before the Australian team departed for the UK, Hazlewood resumed bowling after a “precautionary period of rest” because the scans did not identify any specific damage.
After finishing his most recent IPL encounter, Josh Hazlewood “returned home from the IPL last weekend after feeling slight side soreness,” a CA official stated. “Hazlewood resumed high-intensity bowling last week after a brief and preventative break time, and he will keep increasing his bowling workloads in preparation for the WTC and Ashes series. For the WTC and Ashes Series, Hazlewood has looked perfectly healthy and available, reports Cricket Live Score.
Achilles tendinitis, which he sustained during the SCG Test against South Africa earlier this year, caused RCB’s INR 7.75 crore signing to miss the opening three games of the season. Hazlewood attempted to speed up his rehabilitation in order to participate in the second half of that important series after missing the first few Tests of the tour to India due to injury. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way, and he missed the entire tour.
