“It’s [the injury] still lingering from the (Sydney) Test match,” Hazlewood mentioned. “We obviously bowled after a lot of rain and the jump-offs were quite soft, where we were taking off from and they ended up replacing them as well.
“It type of labored to a level, however simply that additional load leaping off a gentle floor to bowl and once more first Test match (again from damage) your physique isn’t used to that type of workload as effectively. I used to be bowling a good bit main into the (India) tour at residence and type of simply pushing up in opposition to it. It in all probability wasn’t recovering in addition to I might have preferred between every session.
“So thought we’d give it a few days here straight of the bat and try and get over the hump and have a bowl from Tuesday and hope it goes well.”

The guys are excited first of all to play in the subcontinent, they both haven’t yet, but they’re very well qualified to do so.”
