Hazlewood Aims to Win Test Series in India, England, South Africa
Josh Hazlewood is a fast bowler for Australia who wants to win big Test cricket series in three countries: India, England, and South Africa.
Australia will travel to South Africa in October 2026 for three matches, to India in early 2027 for five matches, and to England for the Ashes from June to August 2027.
Hazlewood has never won a Test series in any of those places, even though he has played many games since 2010.
He will return to the Australian team after more than a year, which might mean another player, Scott Boland, will miss a spot.
Hazlewood says the challenge of playing far from home and the teamwork needed are what keep him motivated to win those series.
