‘It is just a matter of ticking off…’, Josh Hazlewood before WTC final

As Australia begin preparations for the World Test Championship (WTC) final against India, seamer Josh Hazlewood has provided an update on his fitness.

Josh Hazlewood told the ICC –

“My fitness is pretty good and it is just a matter of ticking off every session from here until that date (June 7) basically, we will probably have anywhere from three to four more sessions – bat versus ball and then a couple of longer days in the nets as well or centre wicket down in London.”

Josh added – “So it is just ticking off those last few boxes and pulling up well from every session. It was pretty close (to full pace today). I came down for a little bowl yesterday just to loosen up and to get a bit more out of today’s session, so it is feeling good.”

Josh further said –

“After a long few travel days it is always a case of the first one getting the cobwebs out and stretching out and doing some run-throughs just to get the blood flowing. It is always good to get the first one out of the way and when we get to London we will steam in.”
