Josh Hazelwood will miss the remainder of the Border Gavaskar Trophy.

Australia's premier bowler, Josh Hazelwood, will likely miss the remaining matches of the prestigious series against India.

Hazelwood missed the second test match of the series due to his injury and later returned to the playing XI in the Brisbane Test. During his absence in the Adelaide test, Pacer Scott Boland took his place and performed well during the match. 

Hazelwood was seen spending time with coach Andrew McDonald and physio Nick Jones before the start of the game. Though he came to the field late after the game started, he was off during his first and only over he bowled during the day. You couldn't even bowl to the 135 kmph mark. He bowled a loose wide ball in his over, and KL Rahul played a cut shot on that.

Before returning to the dressing room after his over, he was seen having a conversation with captain Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, and the physio on the field.

Assistant coach Daniel Vittori said 

"He's pretty despondent," 

 "Felt it this morning in warm-ups, gave it a good crack, it's just unfortunate for him to come back, put so much effort after another injury with the side strain, then to pick up a calf strain here, particularly in these circumstances is really tough on him."

Hazelwood missed the second test, and Brendan Doggett and Sean Abbott were called to be a part of the squad for the backup. Since the BBL season is going on, most players are busy with their respective franchises, while Scott Boland will take Hazelwood's place in the upcoming tests, Brendan Doggett and Sean Abbott are leading the race to get a place in the national test team squad.

In the remaining of the test match, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc must bear the pace department's load. It is a relief for them because the rain-stop-start provided them rest regularly, while in the last test match, India was all out in just 50 overs in both these innings, so the bowlers will not be that tired that they can't bowl up to their full potential. 

Pat Cummins talked about the team informing Scott Boland of upcoming assignments in the fourth and fifth Tests.

"We told him it's about preparing for the MCG because there's a good chance we might need you," he said. "History suggests there's always some form of natural attrition throughout a Test series. A good thing [is], he's probably played a Test earlier in the series than he maybe thought. Showed that his standard's still super high. [It's] about trying to set him up for the last two Test matches."
