Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood faces an injury concern after experiencing calf awareness on Day 4 of the third Test against India at the Gabba, Brisbane. Hazlewood, who returned to the playing XI after recovering from a side injury, bowled only one over before consulting the team physio during a drinks break.
A team spokesperson confirmed that Hazlewood felt discomfort while warming up and will undergo scans to determine the severity of the injury.
This comes as a blow for the hosts, who are looking to secure a series lead in the decider with the series currently level at 1-1. Rain interrupted play midway through the session, with India at 105 for 5, trailing Australia’s first-innings total of 445.
Hazlewood’s absence could significantly impact Australia’s bowling attack as they aim for victory in the series finale.
