KKR vs RCB: Why is Josh Hazlewood Not Playing Today's IPL 2023 Match? Check RCB Playing XI

Royal Challengers Bangalore are playing their second game of IPL 2023 today at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata against the hosts Kolkata Knight Riders. In a massive update coming from RCB camp, Hazlewood is yet again sidelined from the eleven as he hasn’t yet landed in India.

KKR vs RCB: Why is Josh Hazlewood Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

Josh Hazlewood is one of the premier bowlers in the RCB squad. He was among the wickets in the last season and was bowling with relative ease. However, Hazlewood is yet to feature in this edition of IPL. The tall lanky Australian pacer is still injured and is yet to arrive in India.

Hazlewood was unable to participate in the first two Tests of the Border Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year due to Achilles tendonitis. In the first Test in Nagpur, Scott Boland replaced him and then after the second Test, Hazlewood flew back home to nurse his injury. Since then, the pacer hasn’t yet arrived in India, and it would be interesting to see when he will arrive.
