Hazlewood, who missed the home Ashes series due to an Achilles injury, has been working on his comeback to return at the T20 World Cup. Cricket Australia earlier revealed that the pacer would remain in Sydney for the start of the T20 World Cup as he continues his rehabilitation before travelling to Sri Lanka.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I caught up with Joshy a couple of days ago and he\u2019s working so hard. I really feel for Joshy, he\u2019s had a few setbacks, (he\u2019s) one of the hardest trainers. He\u2019s doing everything he can. I don\u2019t think he will be there for the start of the tournament, but he\u2019s trying his best to be there about halfway through,\" Cummins said on Nine Network.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia are scheduled to play a warm-up match against the Netherlands on Thursday before opening their T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland on February 11.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Hazlewood has a formidable T20 record despite not playing a match in the format for nearly four years, from March 2016 to January 2020. He helped Australia to their only T20 World Cup title, in the UAE in 2021, taking 3 for 16 in the final against New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
