In the midst of negotiations about the restart of IPL 2025, the RCB 12,50 Crore star has a big blow as it injured

Since BCCI intends to continue IPL 2025 after a temporary suspension due to cross -border tensions, Royal rivals Bengaluru (RCB) may have to complete the season without the leading Pacer Josh Hazlewood. Already a shoulder niggle breastfeeding Australian fast bowling, RCB’nin Chennai Super Kings against Chennai Super Kings had missed the conflict against Chennai Super Kings, and the tournament was not sure of the next fixtures before stopping on May 9th. Now, with the Final of the World Test Championship on the horizon (WTC), the increasing return to India for IPL is apparently.

Hazlewood, who had a meticulous rehabilitation in early this year to get rid of a series of injuries, including a side stress and a calf problem, used IPL as a platform to reconstruct the rhythm.

Despite its progress, Cricket Australia is expected to adopt a cautious approach. With the latest conditioning camp before a WTC in the UK in early June, it is a definite certainty to include it in the test team, and the return to IPL seems unnecessary.

IPL participation is not the only Australian cricket player. Pat Cummins and Travis Head, who are already out of the playoff debate, may prefer to stay in Australia to prepare for Lord’s WTC final as of June 11th. Mitchell Starc, who plays for the fifth place for Delhi Capitals, may face a more difficult decision by balancing the national team commitments.

In addition to uncertainty, the logistics difficulty of bringing back overseas players and support personnel leaving India within 24 hours after suspending.

Most of the New Zealand group has already returned home, while Cricket South Africa did not decide whether it could extend the stay of its players beyond the deadline of May 25. The CSA board is expected to be deliberate on Sunday and player security is very important.

For teams like RCB, this deterioration brought both complications and a silver primer. Captain Rajat Patidar, who continued his finger injury while opposing CSK, was set to miss two matches. The unplanned break now gave him a valuable window for healing. The RCB manages its rehabilitation in a conservative way, watching its compliance with the playoffs and the potentially approaching India tour of England.
