Adelaide hero left out as Josh Hazlewood returns to Australia XI for 3rd Test

Australia captain Pat Cummins has confirmed that star pacer Josh Hazlewood will make his return from injury for the upcoming Brisbane Test against India, replacing Scott Boland despite the latter's solid performance in the second Test. The decision to bring Hazlewood back underscores Australia’s preference for their seasoned pace trio of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Hazlewood whenever all three are fit. India’s batting lineup struggled against the Australian pace attack in Adelaide, and Hazlewood's return is expected to further bolster Australia's arsenal.
