Hazlewood’s stepping up

-

JOSH Hazlewood says he’s ready to assume extra responsibi­lity when Australia embark on their Test tour of Bangladesh.

The 26-year-old will lead Australia’s pace attack during the two-Test series in the absence of injured spearhead Mitchell Starc.

Left-arm attacking weapon Starc was ruled out of the series because of a stress fracture injury in his right foot that caused him to miss the third and fourth Tests against India earlier this year.
