Player Bio
If there’s one bowler in the modern era who resembles Glenn McGrath in terms of accurate line and length, then that guy has to be Josh Hazlewood.
Hazlewood made his first-class debut at the age of 17, making him the youngest player to play for New South Wales. Such was his talent that two years after making his domestic debut, he received a maiden ODI call-up to face England. However, the debut didn’t go according to plan, and the pacer had to wait for another 3 years to play an ODI game.
The selectors were aware of the talent he possesses, and after a string of solid performances in the domestic circuit, Hazlewood was given the baggy green cap as he made his Test debut against India at the Gabba in 2014. He had a dream debut, picking up a fifer in his maiden innings, and he achieved it by rattling the Indian top order. It was the start of something special from the Australian point of view. Hazlewood formed a lethal bowling pair with Mitchell Starc, and the duo has created havoc in the minds of the opposition.
Hazlewood was a part of the Australian squad for the 2015 World Cup. He was impressive in the World Cup as the Aussies clinched their fifth world title. In the quarter-final against Pakistan, he picked up four wickets and earned the Player of the Match award for his scintillating bowling display.
In the same year, the first-ever Day-Night Test match took place between Australia and New Zealand. Hazlewood became the first player to grab a fifer in a D/N Test, and in the process, took his 50th career wicket in just his 12th Test match.
In a group stage match of the Champions Trophy 2017, the Aussie grabbed his career best figures of 6 for 52 against the Kiwis.
Hazlewood was named in the Australian squad for the Ashes 2019. The series ended 2-2, and the pacer was the star with the ball for the Australians, picking up 20 wickets at an average of 21.85.
The speedster continued his good Test form in the home series against India in 2020. He registered his 200th wicket in Test matches and in the process became Australia’s seventh highest wicket-taker in Test cricket.
Known more for his Test bowling prowess, he was picked up by the CSK to bolster their inexperienced fast bowling lineup ahead of the 2020 IPL season. He played 3 matches and took just a solitary wicket to end the tournament on a low. He was retained by CSK ahead of the 2021 season.
Hazlewood was all set to set the world on fire during the 2021–22 Ashes, but his campaign was cut short after just one Test due to a side strain. In the opening Test at the Gabba, he showcased his trademark accuracy, claiming 2 for 42 in England’s first innings, including the crucial wicket of Joe Root. However, discomfort forced him to bowl sparingly in the second innings, finishing with 1 for 32.
During Australia's historic tour of Pakistan in 2022, Hazlewood participated in the series, marking Australia's first Test matches in the country since 1998. Hazlewood played in the first Test at Rawalpindi, which concluded in a high-scoring draw. Throughout the match, he bowled a total of 26 overs without taking a wicket, conceding 53 runs in the first innings and 13 runs in the second. Following this, Hazlewood was omitted from the playing XI for the remaining two Tests in Karachi and Lahore, with Mitchell Swepson and Scott Boland being preferred as Australia adjusted their bowling attack to suit the conditions.
During the Ashes 2023 held in England, Australian fast bowler Hazlewood played a pivotal role in Australia's bowling attack. Participating in four of the five Tests, Hazlewood secured 16 wickets over 111 overs, conceding 507 runs, resulting in a bowling average of 31.68. His best innings figures were 5 for 126.
He played two Test matches during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2024-25, delivering a total of 79 overs and taking six wickets at an average of 13.17.
During the 2023 World Cup held in India, Hazlewood was a consistent performer, contributing significantly to Australia's campaign. He participated in all matches, delivering disciplined bowling spells and taking crucial wickets.
Despite these recurring fitness concerns, Hazlewood has showcased resilience. His injury woes resurfaced in December 2024 when a right calf strain cut short his participation in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Yet, his determination remained unshaken, and he marked a strong comeback in March 2025 during the Indian Premier League (IPL), for which he was acquired by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
