Australia to Face Sri Lanka Without Hazlewood and Cummins in Test Series

Australia vs Sri Lanka Test Series:  Australia recently won the 5-match Test series against India 3-1. In this Test series, all the players of Australia performed very well and played an important role in the victory of their team.

Hazlewood Likely to Miss Australia vs Sri Lanka Test Series

Now Australia has to play a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. However, it seems very difficult for Josh Hazlewood to play for Australia in the upcoming Test series. Josh Hazlewood was injured during the five-match Test series played against Team India. This is the reason why the brilliant fast bowler could not participate in the fourth and fifth Tests played in Melbourne and Sydney.

If the report is to be believed, the Australian selectors do not want to rush with Josh Hazlewood. Not only this, after winning the Test series against Team India, Australia has qualified for the final of this cycle of the World Test Championship and by then Josh Hazlewood will also be fully fit.

Captain Pat Cummins to Miss the Series

Scott Boland participated in the Test series against Team India in place of Josh Hazlewood and his performance was also excellent. Scott Boland participated in three matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in which he took 10 wickets.

Australia team captain Pat Cummins will also not be seen playing in the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka. Pat Cummins is going to be a father and that is why he may miss the Test series against Sri Lanka.

In place of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc can be seen playing an important role in the bowling lineup in the upcoming Test series. Scott Boland will also be seen performing brilliantly in the Test series against Sri Lanka.
