Hazlewood Ruled Out of Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood is set to miss the remainder of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India due to a right calf strain sustained during the third Test in Brisbane. Scans confirmed the injury, ruling him out for the Brisbane Test and likely the rest of the series, delivering a significant blow to Australia's bowling attack. Scott Boland, who previously replaced Hazlewood and took five wickets in the Adelaide Test, is expected to fill his spot for the upcoming matches in Melbourne and Sydney. The series is currently tied at 1-1, with both teams vying for a place in the World Test Championship Final. Cricket Australia will announce a squad replacement in due course as they navigate the remainder of the series with this setback.
