BGT 2024-25: Next 24 Hours Crucial In Deciding Brisbane Test Availability, Says Hazlewood

Gavaskar Trophy Test: Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood said the next 24 hours are crucial in deciding his availability for the crunch Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Brisbane, starting on December 14.Hazlewood was ruled out of Australia’s day-night Test in Adelaide, which the hosts’ won by ten wickets to square the five-match series 1-1, due to a side strain. On Monday, Hazlewood had two bowling sessions at Adelaide Oval on Monday, with the Australian team fitness experts gauging if he’s fit enough to play in the third game at The Gabba. "I think it'll be how I pull up in the 24 hours following it really. It’s just that repetitive (action) and obviously two spells makes a big difference. Cooling down pretty much fully and then going again in the same day, and the intensity has got to be right up there as well. "So a few boxes to tick, but it's probably the 24 hours that follow and pulling up again the next day and then thinking 'yeah, I'd be right to go again if I had to'," said Hazlewood to reporters on Monday. Hazlewood also explained his latest injury was not a typical side strain, as compared to his past history of this issue. Instead, it’s a part of an existing issue which had left searching for a solution. “I think if this was the last Test of the summer, I could have potentially run the gauntlet and played (but) I think I would have been in a pretty bad state by the end of the game, even though it was only a short game. It just wasn’t quite right. “It’s not necessarily your typical side strain, which I’ve had a couple in my career, (where) you’re running in to bowl and you just grab your hat and you’re off and you’re out for six weeks. It’s not that sort of side strain. It’s from a sort of repetitive use. “It’s caused me a lot of trouble over the last few years, but (I had a) perfect prep this year, and played the Shield game and ticked all that off. I was very happy (with) where I was and it still happened. So I was pretty annoyed there for a few days.’ “There was plenty of meetings from CA's point of view (with) physios, (and) doctors, all that stuff. So (we will) come up with a few options and see if we can stop it from happening again. I've ticked every box so far this week. The side's obviously been a troublesome area for me in the past. So if I can lean on the side of caution, I guess (I will) a little bit," he elaborated. If Hazlewood is cleared to play the Brisbane Test, the Australian selectors will be forced to choose between him and seamer Scott Boland, who picked figures of 5-105 as his replacement in the Adelaide Test. "Obviously (we've) got Scotty there, who does a fantastic job every time he plays. That sort of makes the decision a little easier. Sometimes you've sort of got to be pretty much 100 percent to play. And if not, Scott is there (ready) to go. (It's) just admiration, he just sticks to his guns. If Hazlewood is cleared to play the Brisbane Test, the Australian selectors will be forced to choose between him and seamer Scott Boland, who picked figures of 5-105 as his replacement in the Adelaide Test.

Matthew Renshaw Released From Australia’s Test Squad To Play BBL Qualifier

Big Bash League: Australia batter Matthew Renshaw will be released from the men’s Test squad to play for the Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League (BBL) qualifier against the Sydney Sixers at the Carrara Stadium in Gold Coast on Friday. Renshaw was selected in Australia's 13-man squad for the first Test against the West Indies, but didn’t make it to the playing eleven. “Renshaw will join the Heat tomorrow evening before returning to Adelaide on Saturday for day four the NRMA Insurance Test match against the West Indies,” said Cricket Australia (CA) in a statement. The move means the Australia men's Test team will be without a spare batter who could be used as a concussion replacement for 24 hours if any of their main batters suffered a concussion against West Indies on day three of the ongoing Adelaide Test. Renshaw had been the concussion replacement for David Warner in last year’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test at New Delhi last year. Friday’s qualifier match between the Heat and the Sixers, expected to be a sell-out, will also mark the start of BBL season 13 finals schedule. The Sixers secured their spot in The Qualifier with a three-wicket win against Perth Scorchers in Perth tonight, securing a second chance for progressing into the finals alongside the Heat. Following Friday’s encounter, the Perth Scorchers will host Adelaide Strikers at Optus Stadium on Saturday in The Knockout, with the winner to advance to The Challenger on Monday. The winner of The Qualifier will host The Final next Wednesday, meaning either the Gold Coast or Sydney will host the biggest game of the season, while the loser will have a second chance in The Challenger on Monday. “We’re incredibly excited for the finals series to get underway on the Gold Coast on Friday night and congratulate all four teams in making it to the business end of the season. Cricket fans in Queensland have been extremely quick to secure their seats for the opening finals match, in what’s shaping as a huge night for the Gold Coast.” “The BBL has had it all this year and we look forward to seeing what the final four matches have in store and who’s crowned KFC BBL|13 champions,” said Alistair Dobson, Cricket Australia’s General Manager, Big Bash Leagues.
