Josh Hazlewood Returns from Achilles Injury, Set to Anchor Australia’s T20 World Cup Attack

Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood is making a timely return to fitness, recovering from an Achilles issue that sidelined him from major domestic and international commitments, including The Ashes and the Big Bash League. Hazlewood's inclusion in Australia's provisional T20 World Cup squad confirms his readiness to rejoin the national setup, providing a significant boost to their pace battery.

Hazlewood is renowned for his exceptional accuracy and control, making him a lethal weapon in the shortest format. His experience and ability to consistently hit the right lengths are invaluable, especially in major tournaments. His return ensures Australia fields a full-strength bowling attack as they aim for T20 glory.

For Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Hazlewood's successful comeback is welcome news. As a key overseas pacer for the franchise, his fitness is paramount to RCB's bowling plans. His performance in the upcoming World Cup will serve as the perfect preparation before he links up with the RCB squad for the next IPL season.
