Josh Hazlewood will miss the start of IPL 2026 due to injury, delaying his return by nearly five months. Pat Cummins is also recovering and may join later. Meanwhile, players like Steve Smith face safety concerns over joining the Pakistan Super League amid regional tensions, with evacuation plans being considered.
NEW DELHI: Australian star pacer Josh Hazlewood is set to miss the start of IPL 2026, extending what has already been a long break from cricket due to injury. According to a report from Codesports. com, the Aussie hasn’t played in months, and fans will have to wait a bit longer to see him back in action.
At the same time, several Australian players are facing tough decisions about playing in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) amid security concerns. Hazlewood and Cummins still recovering Josh Hazlewood has been dealing with hamstring and Achilles issues, and his return keeps getting delayed. He is now expected to miss at least the first two matches for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, meaning he may not play until mid-April.
By then, it would have been nearly five months since his last game. A report from TimesofIndia. com understands that fellow Australian pacer Pat Cummins is also recovering from a back injury.
And there is still no definitive date as to when he will be joining Sunrisers Hyderabad in the tournament. Both players missed most of the home season and were unavailable for Australia’s T20 World Cup campaign. Officials insist their absence was about fitness timing, not choosing IPL over international duty.
