Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood on track to be fit for World Cup

The Hindu  

Australia has received a boost with injured fast bowling spearheads Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc resuming bowling this week and on track to be fit for its World Cup defence. Hazlewood has been sidelined since January with a back injury, while Starc pulled out of Australia’s Twenty20 and one-day tour of India last month with a “substantial” muscle tear. “When the squad gets announced I’ll probably be 65-70 per cent and I’ve still got a good four or five weeks from that date to get ready to play one-day cricket,” Hazlewood said in a Cricket Australia podcast. Starc, the 2015 World Cup player of the tournament, is also faring well in his comeback since picking up the injury during the second Test against Sri Lanka in early February.
