Josh Hazlewood Out From 2nd Test: The Pink Ball Test is to be played between India and Australia from 6th December. This will be the second match of the five-match Test series. Before this test match, the Australian team has suffered a big setback. Australia’s most important bowler has been ruled out of the second test due to injury. Cricket Australia issued a statement saying that fast bowler Josh Hazlewood will not play the day-night test to be played in Adelaide due to injury.
Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has suffered an injury to his left leg, due to which he has been ruled out of the Pink Ball Test against India in Adelaide from 6 December. This will be the first time since his debut that Hazlewood will miss a Test match against India at home. There is no doubt that Australia’s fast bowling attack has weakened due to Hazlewood’s injury.
In place of Josh Hazlewood, Cricket Australia has included two new fast bowlers in the Australian team. Two uncapped bowlers Sean Abbott and Brandon Doggett have been included in the Kangaroo team for the second Test against India. Both of them have not yet made their debut in Test cricket. However, Abbott is not a new player, he has played 26 ODI and 20 T20 International matches for Australia.
Well, let us tell you that both these bowlers are not expected to get a chance in place of Hazlewood. Now Scott Boland is likely to get a chance in place of Hazlewood in Adelaide. Boland last played a Test match for Australia in July 2023.
A five-match Test series is being played between India and Australia. The first match of this series was played in Perth, in which Team India won by 295 runs. Only one change is being considered in the Australian team in the second test. Earlier there was news that Mitchell Marsh may also miss the second test. However, now it is being told that he will play the Adelaide Test.
