Australia: Australia is currently leading 1-0 in the Ashes series of 5 Test matches being played between Australia and England (AUS vs ENG). The first Test match played in Brisbane was captured by the hosts by 9 wickets. While the second match is going to start in Adelaide from Thursday. But, before the start of this match, a bad news has come for Australia. Team’s star fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has been out of this series.
Actually, Hazlewood has complained of back pain. Because of this, he will no longer be able to play the Ashes series. According to the report of Foxsports.com.au, the team has now included Jhye Richardson in place of Hazlewood. In such a situation, if Richardson plays the second match of this series, then it will be his third Test match. However, the exclusion of Hazlewood has dealt a big blow to the Australia team. But, this news can prove to be good for England and can also help the team to make a comeback in this series.
