Josh Hazlewood Prioritised IPL Over Australia? Pacer Responds To Stinging Criticism
Last Updated: In a column, Mitchell Johnson had raised questions over Josh Hazlewood's decision to play in IPL instead of preparing for WTC final. Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood says playing in IPL as part of his preparations for the ICC World Test Championship final was the right call citing the inclement weather back home after a stinging criticism from former teammate Mitchell Johnson. Australia suffered a five-wicket defeat to South Africa in the WTC final following which Johnson questioned the logic behind Hazlewood playing T20 cricket in IPL. He also criticised other senior Australia players indicating that a few of them might be sticking around just for an Ashes send-off later this year. The IPL was suspended briefly for a week during which Hazlewood, who represented Royal Challengers Bengaluru flew home. However, once the T20 tournament resumed, the 34-year-old returned to India and played a key role in RCB's maiden title triumph. 'We've seen concerns about Hazlewood's fitness in recent years, and his decision to prioritise returning to the delayed Indian Premier League over his national team preparations raised eyebrows," Johnson wrote in The West Australian. 'Our successful 'big four' bowling attack of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon can't be taken for granted as a lock going forward either. If veteran players are sticking around just for the Ashes as a send-off, it does beg the question of whether that's the right mindset. It's crucial that we embrace the future and build confidence in selecting our next Test players," he added. Hazlewood reasoned that it's difficult to replicate 'intense' match conditions in training. The Age. 'We know what's going on in inside our rooms. It seemed far and away the best place to get ready for any type of cricket that was coming up. The weather was definitely a factor as well. Just getting over there and playing intense competition like that, it's hard to replicate in training." 'Sydney, it was raining and I had literally nowhere to bowl. I got to Brisbane for three or four days and it was very wet. We were lucky to get on. I just thought the best place to bowl was India. We were still in the competition, we were going to play semis, and I was going to be there for 10 days. I think it was comfortably the best option," he added. First Published:

KL Rahul Set To Make Red-Ball Return As India A Take On England Lions In 2nd Unofficial Test
K L Rahul would look to make the most of his first red-ball outing in months ahead of the Test series against England while the fringe players will be desperate for impactful performances when India A face the England Lions in their second and final unofficial Test beginning here on Friday. With major parts of India enduring monsoon, Rahul decided to leave for UK before the main Test squad to train for the five-match series beginning on June 20. The Shubman Gill-led India squad will depart from Mumbai late on Friday. Rahul, who has had reasonable success in England including two hundreds, is the senior-most batter in the Test squad following the high-profile retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Though he averages an underwhelming 33.57 in 58 Tests, most of his success in the traditional format has come at the top of the order. It will be found out if he continues to open or bats down the order. Even the likes of Gill and Sai Sudharsan were expected to play the second four-day game but their IPL commitments did not allow them. The duo would only get the intra-squad game to acclimatise before the first Test in Leeds. As many as six players from the Test squad took part in the first game against England Lions that ended in a drab draw on a docile pitch where mounts of runs were scored by both teams. Pacer Akash Deep, who did not play in Canterbury, is likely to feature here. With the top three of Yashavi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran and Karun Nair being among the runs in the tour-opener, there is a possibility that the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan would be tried in the middle. Nair, fresh off a double century, was able to make the quick switch from white-ball to red-ball cricket and it would be tough to ignore him for the Test series opener. Rahul, who too is good at leaving the ball, would look to tighten up his game over the possible two innings he would get in the game. There will be a toss-up between Shardul Thakur and Nitish Reddy for the fast bowling all-rounder's slot. Both played in Canterbury but it was Thakur who bowled more than Reddy. The latter did not roll his arm over for the majority of the IPL due to fitness issues. If another flat surface is offered, it may not be ideal preparation for Rahul and Co. for the tougher battles that lie ahead. In the England Lions squad, pacers Josh Tongue and Chris Woakes would look to make an impact, potentially leading to a spot in the playing eleven for the first Test. With their main pace guns Mark Wood and Jofra Archer doubtful to take part in the India series due to injuries, England's fast bowling options appear to be scarce. Gus Atkinson too is doubtful for the Leeds Test. One of three centurions for England Lions in Canterbury, Dan Mousley, has been released from the squad to play in T20 blast alongside Zaman Akhter and Henry Crocombe. India A squad: Abhimanyu Easwaran (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Karun Nair, Dhruv Jurel (VC) (WK), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shardul Thakur, Ishan Kishan (WK), Manav Suthar, Tanush Kotian, Mukesh Kumar, Akash Deep, Harshit Rana, Anshul Kamboj, Khaleel Ahmed, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sarfaraz Khan, Tushar Deshpande, Harsh Dubey. England Lions squad: James Rew (capt & wk), Farhan Ahmed, Jordan Cox, Rocky Flintoff, Emilio Gay, Tom Haines, George Hill, Max Holden, Ben McKinney, Eddie Jack, Ajeet Singh Dale, Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes. Match starts 3.30 IST.
