Hazlewood Out of T20 World Cup: Australia Suffers Second Major Injury Blow

• Australian paceman Josh Hazlewood has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup due to ongoing injury concerns.
• This marks Australia's second significant injury blow, following Pat Cummins' earlier withdrawal with a back injury.
• Hazlewood had been recovering from hamstring and Achilles injuries, missing the Ashes, but was hoped to play a part in the World Cup.
• Selector Tony Dodemaide stated that accelerating Hazlewood's recovery program carried too much risk, confirming his absence.
• With Mitchell Starc retired from T20, this is the first World Cup in over a decade without at least one of Australia's champion pace trio.
