Big Blow For Aussies: This Bowler Ruled Out of Adelaide Test Due To...

After a big margin defeat in the first test at Perth; Australian Cricket Team has got another big blow as one of their pace battery, Josh Hazlewood is out of the Adelaide Test which is going to be a day/night test due to injury. The second test match of the 5-test series will be played at Adelaide from December 6. 

Star pacer Josh Hazlewood ruled out due to a "low-grade left side injury." Cricket Australia confirmed the setback, which marks Hazlewood’s first missed home Test against India. Hazlewood will be a significant miss for the hosts who are trailing the five-match series 0-1. The pacer bowled a devastating spell against India the last time they played in Adelaide in December 2021, which was also a pink-ball, day-night game. 

Hazlewood also made a good start to the current series in Perth, picking 4 for 29 in the first innings where India were bundled out for 150. In the second too, where India piled on the runs, he gave away just 28 runs in 21 overs. Uncapped pacers Sean Abbott and Brendan Doggett have been added to the home team's squad. Australia though, are likely to fill the Hazlewood void with the inclusion of Scott Boland.
