Hazlewood is a tall and accurate fast bowler whose mere intent is to exhibit accuracy rather than pace just like his idol McGrath. Both men made their inception at the age of 23 and Hazlewood's baggy green cap was allocated to him by Glenn McGrath on India’s tour of Australia in 2014-15, which also made him fetch a five-wicket haul at The Gabba, Brisbane.
