What Happened To Josh Hazlewood?
It has been reported that Josh Hazlewood backed out of this year’s IPL as he wanted to spend time with his family. He conveyed his decision of staying home and spending quality time with his family quite a while ago before the IPL-bound players from Australia were departing for India. Josh Hazlewood is a well-regarded right-arm fast-medium bowler who has been a valuable player of the Australian cricket team. Due to his style of bowling, he is often compared to the legendary pace bowler Glenn McGrath. His performance in ODIs and T20s has been outstanding. Media reports have quoted him saying that “it has been ten long months spending time inside bubbles and in quarantine. Thus, he needs a little rest from the games and needs to spend time at home with his family before getting back on the ground.
Chennai Super Kings will begin their title race with their first match against Delhi Capitals on April 10, Saturday at the Wankhede stadium.
