By IANS News January 07, 2025 • 13:16 PM View: 731

The Sydney Morning Herald: Australia have faced a major setback ahead of their two-Test series against Sri Lanka, starting January 29, as senior pacer Josh Hazlewood is likely to miss the tour due to a recurring calf injury and side strain.

Hazlewood injured his calf during the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India and subsequently missed the next two Test of the series.

According to The Sydney Morning Herald report, Hazlewood is unlikely to play the red ball matches in Sri Lanka, and selectors will meet on Wednesday to finalise their squad, which could include up to 16 players for the Test component. An announcement is expected on Thursday.
