    T20 World Cup Blow for Australia as Hazlewood Set to Miss Early Matches, Abbott Named Reserve

    By IANS News February 02, 2026 • 12:23 PM View: 304

    Australia’s preparations for the T20 World Cup have been hit by further uncertainty, with fast bowler Josh Hazlewood set to miss the early part of the tournament as he continues rehabilitation from an Achilles issue in Sydney. In response, Sean Abbott has been included in the squad as a travelling reserve.

    Hazlewood, who was initially sidelined from the England series due to a hamstring strain, later developed an Achilles problem during his recovery. After consultations between selectors and medical staff, it was decided that the senior pacer would remain in Australia for now, with no clear timeline set for his arrival in Sri Lanka.
