He has been troubled for a long time due to Achilles injury and has been ruled out of many series. Meanwhile, he has given a big update regarding his fitness.

Neither Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, or Scott Boland will play for Australia on Friday.

The decision between the two senior fast bowlers is likely to be taken after Boland’s impact. Meanwhile, Josh Hazlewood has told that he can play only 3 out of five matches. They can try to play the fourth match if needed. This is because of his injury.

Hazlewood said this about fitness:-

Talking to ESPNcricinfo, Hazlewood said that “If we go back a few years, I would have said that I expected to play all 6 Tests.

But I think it’s a little different based on the history of the last two years.” I think playing three matches would be a good pass and four is probably a tick. If it is less than this then I will be disappointed.

Josh’s best record against England:-

Hazlewood bowling brilliantly against England. His record is also very good. He has taken 36 wickets against England.

His average is also excellent. He takes a wicket on every 23rd ball against the British. He also took 6 wickets in the last match of the last Ashes series and took the team towards victory.
