Hazlewood’s trying his best to be in T20 WC about halfway through: Cummins

NEW DELHI: As Australian fast-bowler Josh Hazlewood is racing the clock to feature in the T20 World Cup at some stage, fellow pacer Pat Cummins stated that the right-armer is trying his best to return "about halfway through" the tournament.

Hazlewood, who missed the home Ashes series due to an Achilles injury, has been working on his comeback to return at the T20 World Cup. Cricket Australia earlier revealed that the pacer would remain in Sydney for the start of the T20 World Cup as he continues his rehabilitation before travelling to Sri Lanka.

"I caught up with Joshy a couple of days ago and he’s working so hard. I really feel for Joshy, he’s had a few setbacks, (he’s) one of the hardest trainers. He’s doing everything he can. I don’t think he will be there for the start of the tournament, but he’s trying his best to be there about halfway through," Cummins said on Nine Network.
