Melbourne, May 15 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong> Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood has said he is bitterly disappointed after not being included in the 15-member squad for the World Cup beginning May 30 in England and Wales.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Hazlewood played a vital role in Australia's successful campaign in the World Cup four years ago and was the also the number one ranked bowler in ODIs in 2017. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

"It was obviously bitterly disappointing. It only comes around every four years. I was lucky enough to experience it on home soil last time. It'll probably hit me a bit once the tournament starts and you're watching on TV," Hazlewood was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"It's pretty hard. It's not just a normal ODI series, it's a World Cup."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Selectors felt Hazlewood, who is recovering from a back injury he suffered in January, wouldn't have enough match practice going into the World Cup and thus, he should focus on building his fitness and prepare for the Ashes. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Not playing cricket for four months went against me. I can see their side of things," he added while pointing at the reason for his exclusion. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The right-arm pacer also hoped selectors would keep him in mind if Australia needed a mid-tournament replacement during the showpiece event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I guess if someone went down halfway through the tournament then my chances would be a bit better (compared to last week)," Hazlewood said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Australia will begin their title defence against Afghanistan on June 1.
