“He hasn’t faced even the fast bowlers so he’s very unlikely to play the 1st Test,” Smith said in the press conference.
Smith said that Hazlewood’s injury is a big loss for the Aussies but the likes of Lance Morris and Scott Boland can fill up the gap as their length and pace will suit these kind of pitches.
“(Josh) Hazelwood injury is a big loss for us, but Lance (Morris) is a good bowler, (Scott) Boland has been good. His natural length will suit these kind of pitches. Lance obviously has a pace in the air,” he added.
India are the most successful side in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with 10 titles. Australia last won a Test Series against India was way back in 2004. The Men in Blue need at least three victories to book their spot for the World Test Championship Final.
