Despite playing only two of the past eight Tests, Josh Hazlewood is content with carrying the drinks again in Sri Lanka with conditions likely to dictate Australia picks at least two spinners option.
In the unusual position of entering a tour as a white-ball specialist, Josh Hazlewood insists he will be content with carrying the drinks for a second consecutive Test series.
Hazlewood admits he is in unfamiliar territory ahead of Australia’s all-format campaign in Sri Lanka where the fast bowler, who has taken over 200 Test wickets at 26, is a first-choice pick for the T20 and ODI series, but not necessarily the two Tests that conclude the trip.
He stressed he had no issues with making way for an extra spinner in Australia’s recent 1-0 Test series win in Pakistan.
Hazlewood said “I was fine with it. Obviously, the conditions dictate the bowling line-up in the subcontinent and, after playing on that first (Test) wicket, I was pretty happy to just sit on the sidelines for the next two,”.
