Josh Hazlewood injury update
Josh Hazlewood has been dealing with persistent side soreness which caused him to miss Australia’s World Test Championship final against India at The Oval. Despite participating in training and bowling three games, Hazlewood was unable to overcome the discomfort and will not feature in the match. Scott Boland is expected to take his place as the team’s third-leading seamer.
Hazlewood has faced a string of injuries recently, including a lateral strain and Achilles tendon injury. These injuries have limited his Test match appearances to just four in the past two years. However, Hazlewood claimed that concerns about his long-term health were exaggerated and he believed his overall health was good.
The length of his injury has been a source of frustration for Hazlewood. He had to exit the IPL earlier than expected due to a side strain and has endured various injuries in different Test series. Despite these setbacks, Hazlewood remains optimistic and stressed that the injury was more of unfortunate timing than a symptom of a long-term issue.
Hazlewood acknowledged the challenges of bowling in different conditions, with England providing some relief compared to the demands of India or Australia’s bowling. He’s cautious about managing his side strain and stresses the importance of paying attention to his body.
Going forward, Hazlewood hopes he will not need special management in the upcoming Ashes series as England’s bowling innings is shorter and generally less physically demanding.

What injury did Josh Hazlewood suffer?
No specific information regarding Josh Hazlewood’s current injury status is provided in the given text. Josh Hazlewood insists fears over his recurring injury are exaggerated and claims his overall fitness is good despite playing just four Test matches in the past two years.
Hazlewood has been ruled out of Australia’s World Test Championship final against India at The Oval due to persistent side soreness. Despite bowling three separate outings in Saturday’s practice, he will now watch from the sidelines while Scott Boland assumes the third catcher role.
Hazlewood’s injury problems have become widespread and frustrating since he exited the IPL early last month due to a side strain problem. He initially suffered a side injury in the first Test of the 2021-22 Ashes, which ruled him out for the remainder of the series. He was subsequently selected for one Test in Pakistan but was subsequently overlooked for the remainder of the 2022 series and the subsequent tour of Sri Lanka. He suffered another lateral strain in the first Test in Perth last summer and upon his return to Sydney an Achilles tendon injury ruled him out of the India series.
However, Hazlewood believes the timing of his injury is the main issue rather than a long-term issue. “I may not be playing Test matches but I’m still bowling for almost 50 weeks of the year. That’s the frustrating part,” he said. He said that compared to India or Australia, thanks to Du Bowling has been relatively easy in England over the past week given the ball and favorable conditions.
The fast bowler played down concerns that his recent setback in the IPL suggested a recurrence of the problems that led to the Ashes. He attributed the issue to the intense nature of the IPL and the technical challenges it poses, saying: “Technically, your body is in some bad positions. I felt a bit of a crunch on my side, which I Very cautious.”
Hazlewood remains optimistic that he won’t need a lot of management during the Ashes as England’s bowling innings tend to be shorter and back-to-back Tests provide some breathing space
