Hazlewood Ruled Out of T20 World Cup with Hamstring Injury; Australia Faces Setback

• Premier Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup due to a hamstring injury, a significant blow to the team.
• Cricket Australia will not name an immediate replacement for Hazlewood, with selector Tony Dodemaide citing too much risk in accelerating his recovery program.
• The team was hopeful Hazlewood would be fit by the Super 8 stage, but his recovery is taking longer than expected.
• Nathan Ellis and Tim David are expected to be available for the group stage, and Adam Zampa for the first match in Colombo.
• This follows earlier injuries to Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc's T20I retirement, further depleting Australia's bowling attack.
