Josh Hazlewood is poised to link up with Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the rest of their IPL campaign, as per the report by Hindustan Times. The report further adds that the Australian pacer has confirmed his return; the specific date of his arrival in India has yet to be finalised.
Like several of his teammates, Hazlewood had flown back to Australia after the IPL was put on hold amid rising border tensions. With the BCCI announcing a revised schedule and confirming the tournament’s resumption, uncertainty had lingered over the participation of Australian and South African players, especially with preparations underway for the World Test Championship final.
Hazlewood has been vital in RCB’s bowling unit, taking 18 wickets in just 10 matches. Although he sat out their previous league fixture due to a shoulder issue, concerns about his fitness were eased following his inclusion in Australia's squad for the WTC final.
RCB will resume their campaign on May 17 against the Kolkata Knight Riders in Bengaluru. However, with Hazlewood’s return timeline still unclear, his availability for that game remains uncertain.
