At the same time, he was Australia's highest wicket taker with 5 wickets in the Perth Test. In such a situation, Team India is going to miss him in the second match.
Sean Abbott or Brendan Doggett can take place
Now the question arises that who will replace a fast bowler like Josh Hazlewood? Uncapped pacers Sean Abbott and Brendan Doggett have been included in the team to strengthen their pace options. However, there is a possibility that original team member Scott Boland will replace Hazlewood in the playing eleven. Boland, who last played in the 2023 Ashes Test in Leeds, is expected to feature in the Prime Minister's XI warm-up match ahead of the Adelaide Test.
Hazlewood's absence is a big blow to the Australian team.
