The finest player in Australia, Josh Hazlewood, played his first match of the Indian Premier League 2023 against the Lucknow SuperGiants on Monday. During the LSG vs. RCB match, Josh took two wickets within three overs, which helped his side dominate the game on Monday.
The former skipper of Australia, Michael Clarke, has not appreciated a stunning performer of the RCB team, Josh Hazlewood, who took two wickets within three overs for his respective team on May 1 at Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. However, 32-year-old Josh Hazlewood has missed his previous games in the same cricket competition.
The concern of Michael Clarke behind this is that he wants the involvement of Josh Hazlewood in the finals of the World Test Championship, which will be held in June 2023. He wants Josh Hazlewood to prepare for the test match instead of wasting his energy on the cash-rich reach.
I am not understanding why he is overplaying in the Indian Premier League instead of making himself ready for the finals of the test series, says Michael Clarke. I want Australia’s players to practise harder to pretend they are stronger in the test competition, as quoted by Clarke.
