Quick bowler selects not to play for Ponting's Mumbai with occupied winter plan ahead
World Cup winning pace bowler Josh Hazlewood has had his Indian Premier League season shortened in front of Australia's protection of the Ashes and Frank Worrell Trophy this winter. Held by the Mumbai Indians on a $100,000 contract for the 2015 season in the wake of being purchased in the 2014 bartering, Hazlewood was not with Ricky Ponting's group for their opening match of the eighth IPL season against Kolkata on Wednesday night.
However after an exhausting summer, Hazlewood and Cricket Australia selected to withdraw the quick bowler from the lucrative competition with a pressed winter plan coming soon. "Josh's workload has changed fundamentally since he first started going to the IPL," said CA General Manager of Team Performance Pat Howard.
"The IPL is the players' leave period and for Josh's situation it was considered that not playing was the best utilization of that time ahead of the pack up to an occupied winter. "This was consented to with the IPL taking after exchanges toward the end of the Test Series."
Australia play their unparalleled visit coordinate in the Caribbean days after the IPL last, before two Tests against the West Indies is quickly trailed by the five-Test Ashes arrangement beginning in Cardiff on July 8.
