Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood is “frustrated” by the timing of his injury after he was ruled out of the remaining two Tests against India due to a right calf strain sustained during the drawn third match at the Gabba.<\/p>\n

Hazlewood, who had also missed the second Test (pink-ball) in Adelaide — which Australia won by 10 wickets — due to a side strain, described the latest injury as “random”.<\/p>\n

“Just frustrating really. Ticked every box heading into the (third) Test, I could understand if it was my side again, but it was just a random calf strain,\u201d he told 7NEWS.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s just the timing again, they are only little 2-3 week injuries, it\u2019s just the timing of it and missing big games is the frustrating thing.\u201d The 33-year-old Hazlewood was sent for scans after just one over of bowling on the fourth day after hurting his right calf in the warm-up before play. The injury only turned out to be a strain, but it’s expected to be serious enough to end his home Test summer early.<\/p>\n

“Frustrating, really. Ticked every box heading into the Test.<\/p>\n

“I could understand if it was my side again … but it was sort of just a random calf strain, I guess.”<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, do a deep dive into it and see what we can come up with … feels pretty random,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had a history of sides and calves, they\u2019re probably the two things that have kept me out for the majority over the last four years.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut yeah I sort of just keep adding another layer to the defence hopefully, get back into the gym, I\u2019ve ticked a lot of boxes over the last 12 months.\u201d Hazlewood said he does not want to rush back to action before regaining full fitness, which he is hoping to achieve by the two-match Test tour of Sri Lanka in late January and February.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s probably the goal, just take it as it comes over the next few weeks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo rush to get anything in a hurry, it\u2019s just getting everything right. Probably take a few extra days here and there. Ticking things off and getting everything right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
