However, things are looking brighter this time, and the pacer is determined to tick off a major career goal by playing in a WTC final at Lord’s, having missed last time against India.

Josh Hazlewood was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo, “I was obviously quite close last time [in 2023]. I just had more of an interrupted IPL leading into that and then had a few little issues going on, so I wasn't quite up to scratch, but I feel in a much better place this time around.
Meanwhile, Hazlewood explained that building up intensity in training is one of the most important steps in his preparation for the big games. The Australian fast bowler and the coaching staff are adjusting his training routine to get ready for the demands of Test cricket.

So, it'll just be about pushing that length and touch fuller and still getting that zip through the keeper.”
