Australia’s top fast bowler, Josh Hazlewood, has recovered from his injuries and is ready to play for the Sydney Sixers in the ongoing Big Bash League 2025-26 season. The right-handed pacer, who has been added as a supplementary contracted player, is gearing up for the T20 World Cup 2026.
The Sydney Sixers expressed their excitement about welcoming back Hazlewood through a social media post. In the Big Bash League, a supplementary contract allows clubs to sign Cricket Australia-contracted players who may have limited availability due to national team commitments.
Known for his accuracy, bounce, and consistency, Hazlewood is a key player in world cricket across all formats. Despite his history of injuries, his return to the BBL is a relief for fans and the Australian cricket team aiming for success in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
Hazlewood’s presence will boost the Sydney Sixers squad, especially with the expected addition of Mitchell Starc and Steve Smith. Having not played in the BBL since 2019 and being a loyal member of the Sydney Sixers, his return marks a significant moment for the team and his fans.
Named in Australia’s squad for the T20 World Cup, Hazlewood’s return to full fitness highlights his importance in the national team setup, bringing valuable experience and skill to the upcoming tournament.
