Josh Hazlewood won’t be ready for the IPL 2023’s opening matches because of his ongoing medical recovery. Before joining Royal Challengers Bangalore for the 16th season of the T20 league, the Australian pacer, who is presently in Sydney, will confer with Cricket Australia’s medical personnel.
After being acquired by RCB for INR 7.75 Crore, Hazlewood was sent home halfway through the Test series against India to recuperate from Achilles tendinitis, which he sustained during Australia’s home season. He participated in the third Test against South Africa in January, but he was absent for all four Tests and the subsequent three ODIs against India.
