When Cricket Australia: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) director of cricket Mo Bobat has said that Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood will join the squad for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) only after Cricket Australia is satisfied with his recovery.

Bobat also said that the franchise is closely coordinating with CA and medical teams as the fast bowler continues his return-to-play programme in Australia.

Hazlewood, who played a crucial role in RCB's triumphant campaign in the IPL 2025, has not played a match since injuring his hamstring in the Sheffield Shield last November. He also missed the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2026 due to not attaining full recovery.
