Delhi: Australia has suffered a big blow before the second Test, because their main fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has been injured. Now he will not be able to be a part of the Pink Ball Test against India to be held in Adelaide. This news has increased the troubles of captain Pat Cummins, because Hazlewood was Australia’s most successful bowler in the first Test. He took 4 wickets in the first innings in the Perth Test and played an important role in restricting India to 150 runs.
‘Jasprit Bumrah is perfect’ Australian legend praised him fiercely
Hazlewood is the bowler who gave 36 all outs to India.
Hazlewood is the same bowler who all out the Indian team for just 36 runs in the day-night test in Adelaide in 2020. His absence is a relief news for India. Sean Abbott and Brendan Doggett have been included in the team in place of Hazlewood. However, both have not made their Test debut yet.
Team India will play with Prime Minister’s XI
Before the second Test, the Indian team will play a two-day practice match against Australia’s Prime Minister’s XI in Canberra from November 30. In this match, Rohit Sharma will bat for the first time during the series. At the same time, Yashasvi Jaiswal and other players will also get a chance to test their preparations. This practice match will give an idea of how prepared Team India is for the Adelaide Test. Now India and Australia will face each other in the second test in Adelaide from 6th December. This day-night test match will be played with pink ball.
