Hazlewood Happy That Not Playing BGT 2024-25: Josh Hazlewood is happy that Cheteshwar Pujara is not playing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Pujara was included in the 18-member squad announced by India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
There is a reason why Hazelwood is happy about it. Pujara was one of the best performers when India played the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia last time. The 36-year-old Test master has a unique ability to stay on the crease for a long time, which is crucial for Test matches. Despite Pujara’s great success in domestic cricket, his exclusion from the team has brought a lot of criticism to the country.

Hazelwood, who was quoted by RevSportz said that he is relieved due to Pujara’s absence. But the ace bowler also recognizes the quality and depth of the Indian squad as a whole.
“I am pretty happy that Cheteshwar Pujara is not around this time. He’s someone who spends a lot of time out there, tires out the bowlers. But the depth in Indian cricket is pretty good and the younger guys have a lot of talent as well.”
Hazelwood said that Virat Kohli, who has been getting a lot of media attention in Australia and has a lot of success on Australian soil, will not be the only focus of Kangaroos.
“Not only Kohli, but our focus is on all the players. He has found a lot of success in the past and, of course, will be a crucial wicket. But there are other guys also like a Rishabh Pant or a Jasprit Bumrah who can be equally good with their respective skills,” he said.
