Brisbane, Jan 8: Australia's fast bowler Josh Hazlewood will be rested from the first match of the upcoming One-Day International (ODI) series against Pakistan here on Friday.
Explaining the decision, Australia's Head Coach Darren Lehmann said in a release on Sunday: "Josh has got through a heavy workload during the home summer so far and in the past two months he has sent down almost 300 overs across two Test series against South Africa and Pakistan, as well as three ODIs against New Zealand."
The first match of the ODI series against Pakistan at Brisbane will be followed by subsequent matches in Melbourne (January 15), Perth (January 19), Sydney (January 22) and Adelaide (January 26).
