Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have to play a match against Gujarat Titans (GT) on May 21. RCB need to win this match to secure their place in the playoffs. Heading into this matchup, RCB have a big hit in the form of fast bowler Josh Hazlewood. RCB team manager Mike Hesson reported on Hazlewood’s departure during his press conference.
Mike Hesson said at the press conference prior to the match against Gujarat Titans that Hazlewood will return home. There is no hope for him to play the match against Gujarat. Unfortunately, he gets injured again. Hazlewood played 3 matches in this IPL season and could only get 3 wickets. RCB have already suffered 2 major setbacks earlier this season in the form of David Willey and Reece Topley. Now the Hazlewood name has also been included.
Please say that Josh Hazlewood was unable to play in the first half of this season due to injury. He played his first match on May 1 against Lucknow Super Giants. Now, after re-injuring himself, he won’t be seen playing again this season. Even if RCB makes it to the playoffs. Hazlewood had suffered a heel injury earlier this year. After this, he was unable to play Test and ODI series on tour of India.
Starting June 7, the final match of the World Test Championship (WTC) between Australia and India will be played at The Oval in England. Josh Hazlewood is an important part of the Australian team in this match. Now due to his injury again, there have been doubts about whether he will play in this important game.
