    Hazlewood Ruled Out Of Scotland T20Is With Calf Strain, Meredith named Replacement

    Scotland T20Is: Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood has been ruled out of the upcoming T20I series against Scotland due to a calf strain suffered during training last week.

    Riley Meredith has been added to the squad for the three-match series. He last played for Australia in the format in 2021. However, Hazlewood's injury is not that serious and he is expected to be available for the T20Is and ODIs against England later in September although the selectors may take a cautious approach ahead of a busy home summer which includes five Tests against India.

    Meredith played white-ball cricket for Somerset during the English season, taking 14 wickets at an average of 22.78 in the T20 Blast. He also claimed six wickets in three one-day cup matches, including an impressive 4 for 27 against Middlesex at Lord's, helping Somerset reach the final. Additionally, he has taken eight T20I wickets, having played against New Zealand and the West Indies three years ago.
