With only a week left for the match, Hazlewood has provided an update on his injury. He has been bowling at close to full intensity while recuperating from some minor soreness in his previously injured side.
Hazlewood’s Update on Injury
“My fitness is pretty good,” Hazlewood stated. “It’s just a matter of ticking off every session from here until that date basically.” He went on to explain that in a T20 match, he bowls a lot of different types of balls each over – from a wide yorker to a bouncer to a slower ball – and this caused his side to “jam up” and the scar tissue from past injuries to flare up. However, he noted that it calmed down quickly.
