Hazlewood unlikely for Boxing Day Test

Melbourne: Australian pace bowler Josh Hazlewood is a doubtful starter for the third Ashes Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) starting on December 26, with the Cricket Australia (CA) selection panel wanting to give him some more time to recover from the side strain and return for the fourth Test at the SCG in New Year.

Hazlewood had suffered a strain during the opening Test at The Gabba, which Australia won by nine wickets. He missed the Adelaide Oval Test and did not bowl on Friday, instead watching on as compatriot pace bowlers Jhye Richardson and Michael Neser have long stints at the nets bowling to top-order batters.

“He’s going really well,” said Cameron Green, Australia’s 22-year-old all-rounder, on Friday. “He was doing his run-throughs today and he’s looking really good. I haven’t spoken to the guys for this game, but definitely lock him in for Sydney.”

Green, who took two wickets in the Adelaide Test which the hosts won by 275 runs, indicated Hazlewood was prepping for the fourth Test at the SCG. The likely home team pace bowling line-up could be Pat Cummins, who will return as captain of the side after missing the second Test due to Covid-enforced isolation, Jhye Richardson, Mitchell Starc and Green.

Michael Neser, who made his Test debut in Adelaide and grabbed a wicket in each innings, is likely to make way for the returning Cummins. Richardson, who was playing his first Test in nearly three, broke England’s resistance on Day 5 at Adelaide with his maiden five-wicket haul to guide the hosts to a 2-0 lead.
