IND vs AUS: Australia suffer huge setback as Josh Hazlewood likely to miss remainder of Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Live MintOn a day when Australia failed to restrict the Indians below the follow-on target, the hosts suffered another blow as pacer Josh Hazlewood is likely to be ruled out for the remainder of Border-Gavaskar Trophy due to a right calf strain that he sustained on Tuesday. The niggle also ruled Hazlewood out of the ongoing Brisbane Test, thus weakening Australia’s bowling attack. “Josh Hazlewood has sustained a right side calf strain which will prevent him from playing any further part in the Test match against India in Brisbane,” Cricket Australia said in an official statement. The New South Wales pacer, who took a five-wicket haul in the first Test in Perth, bowled just one over before walking out of the field following a discussion with captain Pat Cummins, senior cricketer Steve Smith and team physio Nick Jones.
