Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood has recovered in time to find a place in Australia’s squad for the World Test Championship (WTC) final 2023. Hazlewood left for Australia before his team Royal Challenger Bangalore’s must-win IPL 2023 encounter against Gujarat Titans. The pacer was suffering from side soreness.
He now finds himself in the WTC final squad alongside other pacers — Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland.

Hazlewood has been struggling with injury issues for a while. He has featured in only four Tests since December 2021 due to a side strain. He was also late to join RCB camp for IPL 2023 as a result of an Achilles injury.
In 59 Tests so far, the right-arm pacer has taken 222 wickets.

In the three IPL 2023 matches, Hazlewood bowled nine overs and managed a best of 3/76.
His inclusion means Australia don’t require the services of all-rounders Michael Neser or Sean Abbott who were expected to replace Hazlewood in the squad if the pacer fails to get fit in time.
