The pace bowler aims to be in his best mental and physical form ahead of the long international calendar.
Australia and Chennai Super Kings fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has pulled out of the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League to take a small break from cricket and keep himself fresh for the Ashes and the T20 World Cup later this year. Hazlewood was to depart with other Australia's IPL-bound players and join CSK but decided to skip the cash-rich league, which will start on April 9 and go on till May 30, and spend time at home for the next two months. The 30-year-old played three games for CSK in the IPL last season when the tournament was staged in the U.A.E in late 2020.More Related News
