IPL 2021 game time perfect preparation for T20 World Cup, says Australia pacer Josh Hazelwood

T20 World Cup 2021: Having played in the UAE for CSK, Josh Hazlewood believes he has the tools to deliver successfully for Australia in the showpiece event. Australia will open their campaign against South Africa in Dubai on October 23.

Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood on Monday said getting game time with Chennai Super Kings in the second half of IPL 2021 in the UAE was "perfect" preparation for the T20 World Cup.

While the likes of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Kane Richardson missed the UAE leg of IPL 2021, Josh Hazlewood returned to play for Chennai Super Kings. The tall pacer was instrumental in CSK reaching the play-offs and winning their 4th title.
