Confident Of Getting Through All Five Without Any Dramas: Josh Hazlewood On Ashes Series

By IANS News October 20, 2025 • 15:08 PM View: 210

Sydney Morning Herald: Josh Hazlewood expressed his desire to play all five Tests of the Ashes series next month and also wished to get a similar pitch like the one presented to him and his team on Sunday when Australia faced India in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Optus Stadium.

Hazlewood has missed numerous Test matches in every home summer since Pat Cummins was named captain in 2021, with the exception of 2023–24, when he participated in all five Test matches against West Indies and Pakistan.

While he’s currently a part of Australia’s squad for the ongoing bilateral series against India, his next assignment will be the all-important and iconic Ashes series as the Aussies gear up to host their arch-rivals England.
