Hazlewood Confident for T20 World Cup Return After Injury Setbacks

  • Star Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood is confident about his recovery and aims to feature in the upcoming T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
  • Hazlewood missed the entire Ashes series due to a hamstring strain and later an Achilles problem during his rehabilitation.
  • He will miss the latter stages of the BBL and T20Is against Pakistan but targets a warm-up match return before the World Cup.
  • Australia's opening T20 World Cup game against Ireland on February 11 provides Hazlewood with additional recovery time.
  • Chief selector George Bailey might rest Pat Cummins, but Australia cannot afford multiple unavailable players at the tournament's start.

Why It Matters: Josh Hazlewood is on track for T20 World Cup despite recent injuries, aiming for a warm-up match return.
