IPL 2026: Hazlewood's Fitness Struggle Delays RCB Debut

Josh Hazlewood is set to miss his third consecutive match for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2026. The Australian fast bowler has been absent from all games this season due to ongoing recovery from injuries.

Hazlewood sustained a hamstring injury, followed by an Achilles injury, which caused him to miss significant prior tournaments. While he joined the RCB squad prior to IPL 2026, he has not yet achieved full fitness.

Despite his current unavailability, Hazlewood is traveling with the team. There is an expectation that he will be ready to play in upcoming matches, potentially sooner rather than later.
